Windows 2000 computer browser dependency trouble.

[forager]

Windows 2000 Computer Browser dependency Server & Workstation is not working.

I have a client that decided to run Clean Sweep on his CAD workstations & now the Computer Browser is not working properly, I can't see printer share or network share. The client doesn't want to reinstall becasue it will take lots of time to reload & config all of his apps. Is there awayt to reinstall the Computer Browser Services with out a full reintall/upgrade?

Possibly applying a SP or reapplying the last SP would do it, but it's probably unsupported and may or may not work.

Tell them not to run sh!t like that on critical machines unless they have a good back they can restore next time, hell if it was me and I was in the right mood I'd reapply an SP half way so it broke then tell them have no choice but to reload everything cause of what they did.

SP4 was reapplied but it didn't work.
Del Windows & Printer Sharing and reinstalled it didn?t work.
NET USE * /DELETE & then remap also was a no go for map drive.

Event error ID: 8032 & 8026.

Doesn't Clean Sweap log what it deleted? And if it was important wouldn't WFP have restored it?
