Windows 2003 Server DNS Networking Question / Issue
I have a windows 2003 server that when I run "net view" on it doesn't show any other computers on the network. However if I ping those computers by name then I can ping them and even ping them by their IP adddresses.
I checked the server's settings compared to another server's network settings and everything is matching.
Could there at all be something misconfigured on the ROUTER/GATEWAY that would prevent this particular server from seeing all the computers through "net view"?
And if I run "net view \\computer" from the server, it shows. But if I just run "net view" and enter then it says "There are no entries in the list.". This networking issue seems to be affecting our ability to use symantec to discover remote workstations on the LAn for pushing out installations, too.

I'm not sure. On all of our other servers they can see systems fine but do not have WINS enabled.

I Tried uninstalling and reinstalling DNS on the server but it didn't seem to fix the issue, just keep getting that same message in event viewer

where ever you installed the DNS/DHCP/ also install WINS into that server.. and when you are assigning Static IP to the server, just make sure that you go to the WINS area and put in the IP address of the server you installed WINS from. hope that help
It sounds like you recreated the AD integrated DNS zone. So, try restarting the netlogon service.
How goes the battle?
