The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Master Browser issues in a Windows 2000 Workgroup

Asked by Jeffesmi in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: browser, master, 8005, workgroup

I have a client with a workgroup network. They have no server.  The operating systems are Windows 2000, and XP Professional.  I'm seeing hundreds of election errors on every machine similar to:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MRxSmb
Event ID: 8003
Computer: K-dodge
Description: The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer usedcars1 that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{2C8996AB-A7DD-4AF7. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced.

I'm also seeing:

Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      MRxSmb
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      8005
Date:            10/27/2005
Time:            12:31:53 PM
User:            N/A
Computer:      K-DODGE
Description:
The browser has received a server announcement indicating that the computer K-DODGE is a master browser, but this computer is not a master browser.

I tried editing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters IsDomainMaster key to False so the K-DODGE machine would not attempt to be a master browser, but I'm still seeing the issues.  How can I take control of the Master Browser elections and specify one or two reliable computers as the master browsers for this workgroup?  What are the standard solutions for situations like this?  Andy any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeffery Smith
