windows 7 network sicovery of domain
In windows 7 connected to a domain 2003 with schema vor 2008 servers as well I do not get a list of any pc's or ser vers on the network, it will diplay copiers and printers and a couple local windows 7 boxes but nothing else like in window xp where it diplays the domains and you drill down to get network list, I have turned off firewall for test and have enabled the group policy to map netwok, map network only diplays my machine gateway and internet. ....have googled this thing to death,,, can not see where you get abrowser list,,,,, can unc to any device no problem... also windows 7 would not join the domain with domain name only the fqdn .....
Sorry josh-gray, my XP machines show up perfectly in the Network Map. They are joined to my Win2008 domain.
Windows 7 dropped the "Network Neighbourhood", so the Network Map is the only view left. You can however copy it from an XP machine:
Open My Network Places on a XP machine and expand Entire Network and MS Windows Network. Then drag your Domain to your desktop creating a shortcut. Finally copy that shortcut to your Vista box, double click and see the description in details view!
I heard of a problem that you cannot see the machines on another subnet. Are these XP machines on a local or different subnet. Maybe it's a router/firewall issue.
Are your XP machines up to SP3? Maybe there is a compatibility-issue here, and you should update to SP3.

so how are you sposed to see a list of servers on network other than unc ,,, even 2008 servers do not show up, net view reorts error 6118 . seems a bit back wards to me , also soes not diplay any of the other domains on the the network, the netork map only displays computer , gateway and internet, should'nt it display the switches in between ???

plus why can i not join domain with domain name need to use fqdn
They will all show up with LLTD responder if
-netbios over tcp/IP is enabled everywhere (find it: ncpa.cpl, props of your nic, ipv4 - props - tab: wins
-network discovery is on at the win7 boxes.
