SBS2011 not showing up on the network
I have successfully migrated a new SBS2011 server into my network. However when I go to browse the network, or have this server browsed, it does not show up.
No AV is installed (yet) and the firewall is turned off.
What am I missing?

Have you enabled network discovery in the Network and Sharing Center?
ASKER
Turn on network discovery is on.
I haven't seen the issue with SBS 2011 but with SBS 2003 if under the NIC properties | Advanced TCP IPv4 properties| | WINS | Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP is checked you will have this problem. Default or Enable is fine. If set incorrectly it may take about 20 minutes to take effect.

Agree there is little or no need for it and I personally have never used it since Win2000. I also agree without WINS it is not as reliable, but with no tweaking I must say it works in most if not all of my networks :-)

Good answers. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. It appears I am not as all servers are accessible via UNC paths.
Thanks guys!
