Ok, got this bright idea to set another win2k DC to be the Domain Master browser, thinking that perhaps something is hosed with the current DC, which is why the browse list isn't working right.

Stopped the computer browser on the current Domain master, went into the registry and set IsDomainMaster to false, restarted the computer browser service.

On the DC that I now want to be the Domain Master, I stopped the browser service, set the IsDomainMaster entry to TRUE, restarted the service.

However, the original box is still showing as the Domain master when I run browstat status. What did I do wrong?
