Can I fix Master Browser problem by 2003 registry change?

I have a simple network; A 2003 server running AD/DNS/DHCP for 25 XP
workstations in a single domain, and 1 Win98 workstation.
Since the 2003 was re-booted (not me guv!) the XPs can only see themselves
in the domain under Network Neighbourhood, and find it difficult or
impossible to access shared printers on other machines.

Tried 'browstat status' on my XP workstation IUKNW28. Got:
Browsing is active on domain.
Master name cannot be determined from GetAdapterStatus. Using \\IUKNW28.
Master browser is running build 2600
1 backup servers retrieved from master IUKNW28
\\ IUKNW28
There is 1 server in domain ITRONUK on transport \Device\NwlnkNb
There is 1 domain in domain ITRONUK on transport \Device\NwlnkNb

XP Registry HK_L_M\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\P arameters shows:
DirectHostBinding = \Device\NwlnkIpx \Device\NwlnkNb
IsDomainMaster = FALSE
MaintainServerList = Auto

The 2003 Server Registery shows:
IsDomainMaster = FALSE
MaintainServerList = Yes

My instinct is to stop the 2003 Browser service, set IsDomainMaster TRUE,
restart the Browser service, and go to lunch. Is this best stab at fixing our
problem?

Thanks in advance.

The first thing to check is that Netbios over TCP/IP is running on the
server. (Advanced TCP/IP properties|WINS tab). The next thing to check is
the Netbios name of the domain on the server and clients. The name must
match to be in the same browse list. Even if the server is set up to not be
a domain master browser (and I can't imagine why it is), and even if the
computer browser service is stopped on the server, the server should still
show up in the browse list if it is in the same domain, no matter which
machine is the master browser. So the server should be showing up in your
current browse list.

Do you have any idea why this server might have Is DomainMaster set to
FALSE ? The normal situation is for the 1st (or only) DC (ie the one with
the PDC emulator role) to be the domain master browser. If you set it to
TRUE and make sure that the computer browser service is running on this
machine and it has Netbios over TCP/IP enabled, it should win a browser
election and become the domain master browser. A reboot might speed this up.

PS. Does the W98 machine show up in the browse list?

Thanks for response Bill. The water is getting deeper!
Trying to look at Network Connections in Control Panel locks Explorer! Also
I cannot stop the Computer Browser sevice, it is locked in Stopping state.
Cannot explain existing 2003 configuration. I have inherited this
undocumented network months after previous administrator quit. I will have to
reboot and re-configure server by the book (Minasi) while factory is shut for
Christmas.

All computers see only one LAN, with same Netbios name.
However looking at Entire Network gives a mixed bag:
W2003 server sees nothing - suggests Netbios over TCP/IP not enabled.
My XP sees only itself - it has Netbios over TCP/IP enabled. Suggests no
Master on network or it would see at least W98.
Another XP, without Netbios over TCP/IP enabled, sees nothing.
W98 machine sees everything - doesn't need a Master?

Is there a DOS command which will tell me status of Netbios over TCP/IP on
W2003?

Ipconfig /all
If NetBIOS is disabled the output will tell you.

Install WINS if you aren't running it now, and make sure all clients
register properly in WINS. If you're using DCHP on one of your windows
servers, supply the WINS server IP and also option 46 (node type - 0x8 is
hybrid node & should enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP).

I also generally stop & disable the computer browser service on all
workstations out of habit.

Thanks everyone.
Took a long time to put on network admin hat again, but configuring WINS
server allows all users to see entire network, and to print via a Win98
workstation.
Just 2 further questions!

Is there a way of configuring a WINS server without disabling DHCP and DNS?
(Nearly had another heart attack when that happened!)

Is there a more elegant way of recovering last DNS configuration than
pressing Cancel when you discover how complex setup is in "Manage Your
Server"?

WINS can happily run on the same box with DHCP and WINS. I do this all the
time. What exactly happened?

Not sure exactly what you're referring to, or where this happened, so it's
hard to say.

Let me clarify.

I entered "Manage Your Server", added a WINS server via Install Windows
Components, and when I had finished configuring it and exited, both DHCP and
DNS had disappeared from my menu of Administrative Tools.

So, back to "Manage Your Server", and add a DHCP server role, which I
configured in a few minutes as I only have 1 scope. Now both DHCP and WINS
show up on Administrative Tools. There seems to be one right order to add
these two!

Again back to "Manage Your Server", and add a DNS server role. The first or
second configuration screen asked questions I couldn't answer, so I selected
'Cancel' as I would have to read the book for 30 minutes. The software
whirred for 3 seconds, and suddenly the old DNS configuration appeared. This
was just what I wanted!

I raised the two questions as there has to be a better way than my fumbling.

Regards,

Hmmm - well, I usually go to add/remove programs, windows components, when I
do this - so I'm not sure what happened there.
