MrxSmb Error, Event ID 8003

[adrin]

I am getting error MrxSmb Error, Event ID 8003 every minute in the Event Log of one of my Domain Controllers. So far I have searched 100s of pages and have tried everything to get rid of this errors, but no success yet. This domain use to be the one and only controller earlier. Later we purchased and built two new servers. After this I moved the FSMO roles from this DC to the newer DCs which was more powerful. However, ever since I brought the other two online, this event id has been hounding me

During troubleshoot I changed the registry on this DC from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\MaintainServerList
to No and isDomainMaster to false assuming it will not try to become the master browser but that dint worked.

So now I have no idea left work on this. Can anyone here help me for the same?

Well i have been through mrxsmb errors and i must say that these errors use to be very annoying. By the way what is the full description of this error in your Event Viewer?

OK, following is the complete description of the error in event log:

The master browser has received an announcement from the computer DC1 that believes it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_(521D3619EAAC-40F5-AE. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced.

Now what? Please help.

Hello adrin. Are there any more warning message or event id listed apart from 8003 in your Event Viewer? If yes, what are they?
