I have a windows network with 2 2008 R2 DCs at main site. I have a small remote office that has 1 XP computer always on the network and 1 XP computer that is sometimes connected to the network. The users at remote site connect to main network through VPN. There is no server at all in the remote office. Users do need to access information on the main network segment. I am getting the error "master browser has received a server announcement from computer Remote1 that it believes it is the master browser" and an election is held. I have been researching what to do about it. KB documents say to turn off the browser service on the romote1 computer or setup the router to not forward UDP packets. It would seem to me that turning off the browser server in the remote computer would be the better option, but are there any unintended consequences likely to result? If I were to stop UDP packets, what consequences would result there? I find it hard to believe that the browser service is the only thing that uses UDP. What is the best solution?
