Guest JohnB Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 In the MS Press book for 70-291 it talks about an alternative to NetBIOS based browsing. It says that you can "add network shares to the AD Global Catalog Server". It's an interesting idea but, how would one do that?

Guest JohnB Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Re: Network Shares - Global Catalog - Browsing Huh, I never noticed that option before. I noticed you still have to setup the Share and NTFS permissions the same way. So supposedly, if you add your shared folders to AD this way, the network no longer needs WINS to browse shares. Have you tried this? Or has anyone else? Does it work well? Are there any gotchas? Seems like a good way to eliminate broadcast traffic on a network.
