I'll keep at it. Any idea where this fear that newer versions of Windows are going to take over the network might emanate from? It has nothing to do with networking per se, it has to do with Windows. AD depends strictly on DNS. So, unless you've got old legacy applications that have a dependency on non-DNS name or service resolution, your sysadmin is showing his age and specifically his inexperience with current technology.

When you install WINS and configure all machines to use WINS, then the NetBIOS aware processes and functions will recognize there is a WINS server configured, and instead of broadcasting every 60 seconds, it simply registers its name and related services to the WINS database instead of repeatedly broadcasting, or simply put, it shuts up yelling out its name every 60 seconds.
With WINS, think of it as the kids in the cafeteria quietly enter their names, thoughts into a database and the other kids can read the database, so there is no more noise. Kind of like if every kid were to be yelling back and forth using Facebook using a table or smartphone in front of them, instead of peeping one word.
Therefore, WINS literally quiets the network. But all machines must be configured with WINS to make this happen. The Computer Browser services enumerates and assembles the Browse List the neighborhood using Broadcasts. WINS provides multi-subnet support for NetBIOS resolution as well as enterprise-wide browse list so any machine anywhere in a network can browse to a machine anywhere else in a network, such as a machine in NY can browse to a machine in San Fran.
Your best bet for smooth sailing with multi-subnet browsing and to support legacy apps is to use WINS. Environmental requirements for agent deployment from the ePO 4. Same with Backup Exec and backup agents. Yea, I know this is the day and age of Windows and Exchange , but believe it or not, there are still installations out there that are running legacy operating systems and Exchange, so I had to throw this in there.
Search Suffixes are used to facilitate single name resolution. As long as the search suffix is properly configured for your infrastructure, you should be ok.
Multhoming DCs is not recommended for multiple reasons, including a "Multihomed Browser" scenario. Third Party Devices Participating in the Browser Service I would like to point out that if you have any 3rd party devices, such as a Seagate BlackArmor NAS, it will jump in on the election process and may win, which in case will snafu your browse list.
Browse List Propagation: We have to keep in mind with troubleshooting the browser service, there is a time period you have to wait for the list to fully enumerate and become available on the master. When to Troubleshoot Below are the generic troubleshooting steps I used to troubleshoot the browser service that helped me find out the BlackArmor device was the culprit. With Windows and newer, the utility is already installed as part of the operating system files.
If there are any antivirus software, third party firewalls, or firewall rules between locations blocking WINS traffic TCP 42 , it could block browser traffic, too. You can do so by tweaking two registry entries. This configures the computer to function as a backup browser or a master browser. Setting this entry to No configures the computer to function as a nonbrowser.
Selecting Auto configures the computer to become a potential browser, backup browser, or a master browser. This is the default for all Windows NT servers that are not domain controllers. Setting this value to True assigns the computer a higher election criteria value than it would normally have, giving the computer an advantage in a browser election.
This can cause it to become the master browser if all other computers use the same operating system. Still just want to keep this as it is. I just got to my devices on the network. That works. I've created a Flush-Fix. But that still doesn't fix the problem I did once twice, but not the third time. Disabling firewalls doesn't do it either.. Running the Guest account nope. I usually disable the guest account. I also force the systems to connect using Classic Mode.
All system also login with the same name and password also it's an admin. I also did notice that Computer Browser service fails to load on all network pcs. But now since I've made one the Master browser the Computer Service loads again. If you got any ideas or methods do join in I'll post my results as it happens All PCs can browse shared folders, directories, and printers.
