I have a domain with Windows SBS 2003 as domain controller. It's very common to get Master Browser errors in the logs, MRxSmb Event ID 8003. How can I avoid that? What have I done wrong?
I know how to solve this: Stop the Computer Browser
service on clients, but I don't know how to avoid this since the problem comes back every time I add a new client and I forget to stop the Computer Browser
service.
Error message:
The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer
[computer] that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on
transport NetBT_Tcpip_{#######-####-####-#. The master browser is stopping
or an election is being forced.
Is there an configuration of the server to avoid this problem?
If you don't have any legacy boxes on your network you can just disable the browser service entirely in a top-level Domain GPO: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256345
