Browser Monitor is a tool with a GUI that monitors the status of browsers on selected domains. Browsers are shown on a per-domain and per-transport basis.
The Windows Browser service maintains a list of all available domains and servers. Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server and Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional continue to support the browser service, originally introduced with Microsoft® Windows® for Workgroups version 3.1, to provide for interoperability with domains and computers that are not Active Directory™ûenabled.
On a network of computers running only Windows 2000, clients can find network servers and file sharing resources through the shared folder object in Active Directory directory service. However, as a practical matter, most organizations will use the browser service for the foreseeable future to service legacy computers that are not Active Directoryûcapable. The browser service and NetBIOS are enabled by default when Windows 2000 is installed.
