Under the "Network" I do not see all PCs
We have a network with AD, Windows Server 2008 servers and computer of Windows 7 all in domain. However, when in the Windows 7 go to Start / Computer / Network, I see only computers in the network are the same on Windows 7, but I cant see servers.
Also, when I go to a server, see the adjacent servers on which Windows Server 2008 but not see the computer to a Windows 7? In all hosts the network discovery turned on, etc. ...

Why do you want to see all computers. Visibility is not equivalent to accessibility.
A. In legacy computers the visibility depended on operned ports 137-139.
B. There are two mechanisms that influence network devices recognition:
Link-Layer Topology Discovery
Network Location Awareness

C. Check firewall settings
D. The last resort is network monitoring and analysis of traffic logs.

Hi,
Firstly, please put your server and client in a same subnet and test the issue again.
For more information, please refer to
Disabling Network Discovery/Network Resources.
Hope this helps.

I cant do that, clients and server must be in diferent subnet. Can that cause problem? I dont think so I think that is not important is is subnet different I must see all clients in network but I cant see?

Hi,
Based on my research, Im afraid that all machines are in the same subnet is the requirement for Network Discovery.
Thanks for your understanding.
