Server 2008 R2 - browser events 8032


hi

i'm maintaining 2008 r2 server logging number of 8032 events browser service. how can troubleshoot when normal kb (188305) browser errors doesn't apply 2008r2? 

i can't use browstat 2008r2 not supported, , far know browser infrastructure being phased out.

the message i'm seeing is;

the browser service has failed retrieve backup list many times on transport \device\netbt_tcpip_{f3ff08e9-08ac-4152-b104-2f7c9818495e}. backup browser stopping.

the interface referenced servers primary nic, other 3 disabled , disconnected. other enabled interface hamachi use backup server. can't use browstat status see whats happening don't know if that's a problem, or master browser server trying connect to.

how can solve this, short of disabling computer browser service? there point running computer browser service on multiple 2008r2 servers?

hi,

i'd surprised if have applications dependant on browser service - wins maybe, not browser service. default, service disabled on server 2008 , 2008 r2,  , who's been disabling service since windows 2000 launched, i'd suggest it's quite unlikely applications in environment need it's functionality.

focusing on specific error number though, appears relate fact machine considered multi-homed. can read bit more facet of problem here.

given recommended options either unbinding tcp/ip non-primary adapter (not option because of backup network adapter) or remove non-primary adapters (even less of option) i'd recommend disabling the computer browser service.

cheers,
lain
