Hello:

I only have a single domain. When I map a network drive and click browse I
see 20 or more domains show up. I assume this is because some computers
have workgroups filled in. Most likely these are users home computers I
think. Is there a way to block this so only my domain will show up? Thanks.

Hi Harrison,

This is a by design behavior. When you click Browse button, the machine
will query Master Browser to get the whole network topology list and list
all the domains and workgroup for you to pick up. By default, the domain
name should be highlighted when you click Browse button.

If you disable the Master Browser service, there would be nothing when you
click the Browse button. Therefore, I suggest you key in the domain
name\\domainname in Folder section when you map the network, and then click
Browser button.

Further questions, let us get in touch!

If you key in the domain name and then click Browse button, it will only
list the domain you have input.
