hi
I have a workgroup with 70 systems. Out of that 4 NT stations and 7 Win2000 advanced servers. Also I have an ISA 2004 installed on win 2000 advanced server. My problem is this. From time to time we are not able to browse the net work and I found that ISA 2004 server is acting as the master browser. I want to stop it as the master browser. Can any one tell me how to do it?

MB is based on these three things 1. type of server [w2k wins over NT] 2. netbios name [alpha wins over zeta] 3. length of time up [the final tie breaker]
There are registry keys that you can set to false/no [look for isdomainmaster]
It really doesn't matter who is the browser as long as you have a proper configuration so that everyone can read from it. Might want to ask yourself why isa 2004 can't be read as MB
Give a person a fish you feed them for a day. Ask a person to internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
