Hello everyone, I wanted to report a problem in my AD Neth7 Contest (for me known), that every time I credit a PC to the Activedirectory domain, these forces the election to Master browser!
I notice this because from the network the PCs that browse the workgroup see few users. Connecting to shell in Neth and launching smbclient -L localhost: I realize that your accredited Windows PC has become a Master browser! I have to intervene with the following change to the configuration register
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Browser\Parameters] “MaintainServerList”=”No” “IsDomainMaster”=”False”
AFAIK, for Win7 and Win10 this does not trigger an election…
The server, as AD DC already has the higher “rating” than a Win7 or Win10 workstation can get. This may have changed with Win11, the Samba guys will have to do the work / upstream…
It makes sense to set this via GroupPolicys to all workstations - even new workstations will get this!
Hi Andy, yes, but I confirm that the problem of forcing to master browsers I had with Windows 7 Windows 10 and 11. I had thought of managing the change via GPO policy, but all this is to be considered a fallback ??? Microsoft…
The adaptation to Web Discovery services is excellent, but the fact remains that a host that is part of a domain must have permission to elect itself as a Master Browser. It’s like saying that a sailor on a ship, in full autonomy, has the ability to change the route of the ship …
