HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\
MaintainServerList
– REG_SZ
Range: Yes, No,
and Auto
Default: Auto
If this value is No, this server is not a browser.
If this value is Yes, this server becomes a browser. It attempts to contact the
master browser to get a current browse list. If it cannot find the master
browser, it forces an election and is, of course, a candidate to become the
master. In addition, setting MaintainServerList to Yes causes an election to be
generated when the browser starts.
If the value is Auto, this server becomes a browser if the master browser for
the domain considers it appropriate for the server to be a browser.
IsDomainMaster
– REG_SZ
Range: True and
False
Default: False
This parameter gives the server an advantage during the election of a master
browser in the domain. The PDC has this value set to True. For WAN environments,
this specifies a workstation within a workgroup, which, as a potential browser,
should be included in the global Lmhosts file. This helps with WAN browsing. It
has two values:
Setting
this parameter to True forces the elevation of a workstation’s priority for
the browser.
Setting this parameter to False has no effect
