DOCUMENT:Q103013 26-AUG-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :NT Err Msg: There Are No Entries in the List
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you use a NET VIEW command at a Windows NT command prompt on a
network with both Windows NT and Windows for Workgroups servers, the
following error message may appear:
There are no entries in the list.
CAUSE
=====
This error occurs when a Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 system is
a backup master browser in the workgroup and the Guest account has
been disabled on the Windows NT master browser machine for the
workgroup. If the primary master browser of a workgroup is busy, the
backup master browser is used to report the list of servers.
This error occurs because there is no centralized account database in
a workgroup to validate the Windows for Workgroups backup master
browser when it tries to connect to the master browser to obtain the
list of servers. The Windows for Workgroups backup master browser has
to use the local accounts database on the Windows NT master browser
for authentication before it can obtain the list of servers.
If the Guest account is disabled on the master browser, a Windows for
Workgroups 3.1 machine may be unable to connect and retrieve the list
of servers.
Windows NT backup master browsers do not send account information
when obtaining the list of servers and are not authenticated.
RESOLUTION
==========
Enable the Guest account on Windows NT machines in the workgroup to
ensure that any Windows for Workgroups machine can connect to any
Windows NT system for a browse list.
