Master Browser Service in SBS 2008 Network

We have been seeing some event errors related to the Master Browser service. I ran browstat status and found that the Master Browser is not our SBS 2008 box, but a different server on our network with three other servers listed as backup - our SBS 2008 box and one other server are not shown at all.  I looked at the Computer Browser service on the SBS 2008 box and it is listed as disabled.  

Would it be recommended to set the service on the SBS 2008 box to Automatic/Delayed start or Automatic? Then set all the other servers to disabled or will I need at least one other server set to Auto for backup purposes.

The Computer Browser Service is set to disabled by default in SBS 2008.   The browser service shouldn't necessarily be required to be running on the other servers either.
What is the event ID of the errors and are the workstations having issues finding resources on the network?

We are getting error 8032 and 8021 on one 2003 server running in a VM.  No resource issues at this time.  It's only happened a couple times to date, but wanted to fix if necessary.
