This is the scenario:<br />
I have 5 windows server 2003 servers, all of them domain controllers on the same domain. I have 1000 workstations out in the field..... My question is this:<br />
<br />
1.) Do I need the browser service turned on at every workstation or will it be ok to leave the browser service turned off?<br />
<br />
2.) The master browser on my network will not stay if the browser service is turned on at the workstation<br />
<br />
Some have said leave the service on and some have said leave the service off. <br />
<br />
Does it really matter? and if so why does it matter.....
