Master Browser messages in event logs

[newpersn]

I just went a computer as the user said it powered off. Powered it back up and check what happened. Turns out the user turned it off..... But noticed a few of these?

 

The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{E9B4A77A-0AE9-4824-9492-0240EBC4218. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced.

 

Any Ideas?

The computer browser service has nothing to do with Internet explorer or web browsing. It is a Windows service which helps you find other machines on your local network. If you are not relying on the computer browser service you do not need to worry about these announcements.

Thanks for sourcing that @sparkeh.

 

When quoting other sources please ensure you reference them for good etiquette I am sure we would be cross if people took our hard work and didn't reference it so only fair to do it both ways.
