the Browser service? What is MRxSmb? Comments: Anonymous Here are some steps you can follow: 1. Look at the System Event log on your server and look for the error 8003. Within that log, identify the “computer” that is announcing itself as a master browser. 2. Go on to the computer identified in step 1, go to the Services Administration panel. You can usually find this by going to Control Panel -> Administrative master browser error 8003 windows 7 Tools -> Services. 3. Once you have Services open, look for an entry called “Computer Browser”. If that service is “started, ” you have found your culprit. If not, you may have to try the registry hack listed in step 6. 4. Double click on the “Computer Browser” service to edit it. Stop the service and then change the type to „Disabled” (from either Manual or Automatic). Click OK to apply your changes. 5. That should have resolved the issue. You should check your main servers event logs periodically to be sure that the error does not show up. If the error continues to appear read step 6. 6. Check the following registry value on the computer: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\IsDomainMaster". Ensure that it is set to false. You probably have to reboot the machine to make the change take place. x 340 EventID.Net As per Microsoft: "This computer is a master browser, and another computer has announced that it is the master browser.

At regular intervals, I am faced with the Mrxsmb (Event 8003) error which brings down the network. We have to other Windows SBS 2003 servers on the network, one of which was causing this. I event id 8003 have disabled the Computer Browser service on both of these. Now, the Windows XP and the Windows 7 clients in that Domain show up with this error in the DC's log at different times. Every single time, it brings down my network. Is there anything I am missing out here? As a temporary solution, I have manually "disabled" (because when it is stopped and the startup option is "manual", it still gives me this error) the Computer Browser service in all the client PCs - is that the right solution or is there any other better solution? On checking, as suggested in here, the network hasn't been disconnected at any given point in time, however, the PCs are restarted in some cases at certain points in time. Would appreciate it if you could suggest some sort of permanent solution to this...
