hi I have rectified it. I have made a GPO for the whole domain to start following services in the domain. - Function Discovery Resource Publication - SSDP Discovery - UPnP Device Host And stopped computer Browser service on the systems which were being elected as a Master Browser,until the correct Domain Controller was elected as Master Browser. Then after 45 minutes and a full catalog was created, every thing working. Thank you
