Domain Computers not showing up in Network

Whenever I try to view the Network Computers on any machine on my domain, I can only see 5 servers. There should be about 15 servers and 50 workstations.

I have confirmed that Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled.

All the proper services are enabled and automatic. Computer Browser, DHCP Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness, RPC, Server, Workstation, TCP/IP Netbios helper

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Also, I am able to browse to all the servers and workstations by going to \\hostname

I'm pretty sure the computers not displayed are windows 7 WSs. Check the network discovery settings on these workstations under Network and sharing center.

Try to disable your 3rd party firewall if you have and also windows built-in firewall ,and open cmd type: net view

Do you use wireless connection or wire connection?

If you use the wireless in your after you select the SSID to be your connection. Windows wiil ask if you want your connection to be Work network, Public, and Private / HOME in windows 7  don't choose public try private / home  to see if the problem is fixed.




We do not have a 3rd party firewall and the Windows firewall is disabled. We do not use wireless. It is a gigabit ethernet domain.

Also, when attempting to run net view from command prompt, it errors out saying "System error 64 has occurred. The specified network name is no longer available"

Is the built-in firewall are disabled on both side.windows xp and windows server?

You have to disable the Server Message Block (SMB) Signing to fix the "System error 64 has occurred. The specified network name is no longer available" with the net view command in cmd.

Here is a link in which you can download hotfixes to fix this problem:

Yes both client and server side Windows firewalls are disabled. I went ahead and disalbed the SMB signing. We'll see if that has any effect. Thanks for the help.

Yeah try it.

Please mark as answer if this work to help other in the community.

This did not fix my problem. I figured it out on my own. For the community's benefit, this service had someone become set to manual across my domain. I set it to automatic through group policy.

I just wanted to say Thank you :)

This has been puzzling me for a good week now. I tried your GPO fix of

Computer Config->Policies->Windows Settings->Security Setttings->System Services

and switching Function Discovery Resource Publication to automatic.

So far it's working like a charm.

Thanks again ! :oD

Great work! 

This was the last problem after an all nighter recovering a virtual environment.  I can go home now - I will worry about how this got set (I suspect windows update?) later.

I have the exact same issue but in Windows 10. I'm using a virtual machine. My issue is that I am not able to find the system services as referred to here Computer Config->Policies->Windows Settings->Security Setttings->System Services

I can get as far as the Security Settings but the System Services seems to be missing. I would really appreciate help with this issue.
