Win 2003 Server/SP1 - reinstall Computer Browser service

[Guest DavidP]

I have a client that has removed the computer browser service. How do I

re-install this service on a production server?

Hi David,

 

The computer browser service is installed with the Client for Microsoft

Networks. Within your nic's local area connection properties confirm that

this is listed and checkmarked, if its not you can install it via the

Install button.

 

What is it that you need the computer browser service for? -If you are

planning to use it so that client PCs can browse through MyNetworkPlaces,

you may want to consider using WINS as its much more network efficient for

this purpose (the browser service can be very broadcast chatty). However to

do this you would still need the computer browser service running on your DC

servers as well as disabled on all client pcs.

 

More info than you prolly wanted. :-)

Thank you very much.

 

Exactly what I needed.

 

Over zealous techie with lockdown script removed service from DC. No end to

trouble.

 

Thanks again.

computer browser service WINXP

 

Another similar question: i have WinXP sp2 installed.

I can see the checked "file and printer sharing..."

but i don't find the"computer browser service" in services...I don't use any firewall.

i cannot browse the network.

What is wrong?

Hi Avid,

 

Its the "Client for Microsoft Networks" which would need to be present and

checked.

If you dont see it in your nic's local area connection properties then you

will need to install it via the install button there.
