| Event Information | Under the following conditions, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms: When you double-click My Network Places in Windows, an incomplete browse list may be displayed. Computers that do not have File and Print Sharing enabled do not appear in the browse list. If a Windows domain controller has File and Print Sharing disabled, Windows-based computers that try to use the browse list receive the following Event ID 8032 error message. The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{XXXXXXX-9F03-42B2-AB84-12EEEFD572E9}. The backup browser is stopping. On the Windows domain controller that has File and Print Sharing disabled, the following error events(2505 and 2504) may appear. CAUSE: This problem can occur if the File and Print Service component was not selected during the initial setup of the server or it has been deselected. When this occurs, the Server Service does not bind to the NetBIOS interface. A Windows-based computer which becomes a backup browser and does not have File and Print Sharing enabled is unable to share out the browse list to clients. Any computer that is to be included in the browse list must also have File and Print Sharing enabled. RESOLUTION: To work around this problem, enable File and Printer Sharing on Windows domain controllers and any computer that is listed in the browse list. |
