How do I get my computer descriptions to appear in the remarks column of the net view command.This was fine when our DCs were 2003, now with Server 2008 they do not appearThanks

Verify that the Computer Browser service is running on your DC holding the PDC FSMO role. By default, this service is disabled in Windows Server 2008.

The Computer Browser service is running on the DC, there is no problem seeing the domain names, it is just the remarks (descriptions) that do not appear.Thanks

Hi marlb1,could you please disable the Computer Browser server on that Windows server 2008 box for test purpose?does the comment appear?You may also take a look at this thread:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/d917ede3-80b7-489c-887c-a04d9759eb70Thanks and regards,ScorprioMCTS: Windows Vista | Exchange Server 2007 MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician | Server & Enterprise Admin

When the service was originally disabled, only Computers in the same subnet would appear, however still there would be no remarks. So either with the service running or not there is no comment showing, I do not have WINS running. Thanks for the other thread, hopefully there is a resolution to this somewhere out there.Regards
