How do I correct a Preferred Master Browser problem?

Asked by RTCexpert in Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, 2003 Server R2, Service Pack 2 and updates installed

Ever since we have switched to Windows 2003 Active Directory we have had a problem browsing for computer and printers on the network.

Things seemed to improve when I made a registry change on one of the two Active Directory 2003 servers we have, to force it to be the Master Browser, but now that the old 2000 AD is completely decommissioned we are having problems again.

(This is the article I used to make the changes to the registry entry http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsNT/RegistryTips/Network/PreferredMasterBrowser.html)

I have searched through Google and Microsofts site, and have not been able to find any a solution.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Peter
