Yes, the PC you start first becomes the Master Browser. The Master Browser function is tied to SMBv1 and when SMBv1 is uninstalled/disable is one reason why shares don't show up as people are use to.A change I see is that the master browser is now on A which was on B
Note:
1. It can take awhile for shares to show up and I don't really know why.
2. You should be able to access the shares in File Explorer > Address Bar by doing \\PCNAME or \\IPADDRESS
\\PCNAME - is the device name in Settings > System > About
\\IPADDRESS - is the internal IP Address (ie. 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x)
It's been 30 minutes since B and C started but no shares show up on these PCs. I assume that the shares are only displayed on A which being the master browser.
Yes, by using \\PCNAME or \\IPADDRESS I can access any other PCs from B or C.
I think the above concludes this thread.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hey churin,
If you shares are still not showing up, you can run the following on each PC. We're just making sure that SMBv1 & SMBv2 Server/Client are enabled, their services are auto starting and the browser is auto starting.
Open PowerShell as Administrator
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB1Protocol $true
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $true
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= auto
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= auto
sc.exe config browser start= auto
Reboot PC
Hey churin,
I've not seen that command, fail with that error before. Did you copy/paste or type them in ?
Note: Some people think that bowser is a typo and change it to browser which is wrong. It is bowser.
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
You have to open/run PowerShell as Administrator. In your first screen shot, PowerShell is not running as Administrator.
