SUMMARY
Due to the way the Windows NT Computer Browser service manages LAN
Manager/LAN Server domains in its browse list, the Site Configuration
Manager may fail to enumerate a LAN Manager/LAN Server-only domain when
adding a LAN Manager/LAN Server domain to a Systems Management Server
site. It is possible to correct this by modifying the configuration of the
Computer Browser service on the site server domain primary domain
controller (PDC).
On the site server domain PDC, the Computer Browser service must be
specifically configured to include the LAN Manager/LAN Server domain. To do
this, use the following procedure:
- In Control Panel, choose the Network icon.
- In the Network Settings dialog box, select Computer Browser and choose
Configure.
- For Other Domain, type the name of the LAN Manager/LAN Server domain and
choose Add. Choose OK.
This procedure will cause the Computer Browser service for the domain to
track needed information on the LAN Manager/LAN Server domain, allowing SMS
to successfully configure the new domain. This is not specific to SMS and
may also be needed for simple domain and server browsing from within File
Manager on a network with both Windows NT domains and pure LAN Manager/LAN
Server domains.
