  2. Network master browser lost to a linux device, how to disable it ?

    My NAS box lost it's position as the Master Server browser on our network. The device that picked up this role, is Linux based. How do I achieve the following Windows instructions as per this page, but in Linux?

    http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/54/

    And if it cannot be done in Linux, how do I hard force a device to pick up the browser role? The NAS box is also Linux.



    And any suggestions for how to avoid this happening in the future, or a quick fix if there is one?

    Locate device

    Hello,

    Are these the steps you're doing when trying to locate your device?

    • Go to
      account.microsoft.com/devices
      . If you're asked to sign in, use the same Microsoft account you used to sign in to the lost device.
    • Choose your device from the list, then select Find my device.
    • You'll see a map with a highlighted location. However, this may not be your device's current location. When a Microsoft device is turned on, we periodically save your device location, so check the
      Last seen at timestamp.
    • In the meantime, we'll automatically start a new search. Wait a bit and the new device location should appear.

    You can also have the option of locking the device to render it useless unless that the person knows your credentials. Here's how:

    • When you find your device on the map, select Lock > Next.
    • Type a lock-screen message for anyone who finds your device to see.
    • Select Lock. Note that anyone who finds your locked device can't sign in unless they are an admin for a Microsoft account already on the device.
    Reset your password
    Once your device is locked, you should reset your password for added security. Select
    Reset password and follow the instructions.

    I'll be waiting for your updates.
