    Windows browsing in an IP subnet with no DC

    Guys, I have a little problem here. I have an AD domain with one DC and 2
    other member servers and when I go to My Network Places and browse the
    network, I can seamless see a list of all workstations (my 2 member servers
    and my single DC) and servers. The network IP is 10.10.10.0/24

    I have a second VLAN, 10.10.20.0/24 where I have another member server. I
    joined this member server to the domain, added a subnet in AD Sites and
    Services that corresponds to this 10.10.20.0 subnet and also created a
    reverse lookup zone in DNS for this subnet. Everything on this network is
    2003 ent. sp2.

    The problem is that when I go to My Network Places at the member server
    sitting at the second subnet, I can't browse the network. I do not get a list
    of all the computers on this AD domain.

    So, on this member server, I stopped the Computer Browser service, rebooted
    and it was worst. I put it back where it was and then tried the
    MaintainServerL ist key at the registry. I set this key to No and rebooted and
    same thing (this time windows told me that I didnt have permissions on the
    network)

    I also do a browstat status on this new member server at the second subnet
    every 2 minutes and I never see the main DC listed. I always see the name of
    this member server and nothing else... or sometimes I don't see anything
    listed.

    Looks like the problem is because this member server sits at this second
    subnet (which has no DC residing in it) and not at the main subnet.

    can you please help?

    First, you need to locate a group for your Windows issue. This is a .NET
    programming group.
    As you don't mention which version you are using, try the following...

    As you appear to be using a web interface:



    Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
    find the category for your version of Windows. Open it and find a group for
    your question.
