Just added a Windows 7 Pro 32-bit to Windows 2003 domain. When I logon to the systems as a Network user, who is a member of the local adminstrators group (and on all machines of the network except the server), when I try to map a drive, I cannot browse the network. I can map a drive if I know the machine name and the share name. I've tried all the suggestions on other questions/topics: The Computer Browser is started Windows Firewall is not running (gpo controlled) "NetBIOS over TCP/IP." is enabled instead of the deafault. This causes a problem with tools we use - Classroom Spy - that needs to browse the network to function. Further testing shows: Log on as the Machine Administrator, and "Connect Using Different Credentials" is not checked, then I can't browse the network - expected result, but when I check this and use my Network account and password, I can browse the Network. If I logoff and logon as my Network user, I cannot browse the network. If I switch user and logon as the Machine Administrator I CANNOT browse the network. I now don't know where to look - it's as if some service/process is running when I logon to the network that isn't for the local administrator, but I can't find it!

Hi, Please check if you have enabled the network discovery setting: Enable or disable network discovery Also, please see if you have installed the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) I/O driver in network adapter properties.

Alex Yes to both. Pete

Hi, Sometimes, certain third-party services can affect the result. To eliminate the third-party services impact, I suggest you boot into Clean Boot mode to check the result: 1. Type the MSCONFIG in start box, and then press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility. 2. On the General tab, click to select the option Selective startup, and then click to clear the option Load startup items check box. 3. On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all. 4. Click OK, and then click Restart.

Alex Tried that - it made no difference. I hadn't expected it to, as the only the only items this stopped was the Anitivirus system, and Graphics card driver. Pete
