Having an intermittent problem with Active Directory on our W2k3 domain controller. Every so often, when you browse Microsoft Windows Network -> OurDomian, the list of computers is empty. When this happens, printers no longer show up in the directory.

This happens at randomly for several hours several times a day. Anyone experienced something similar or know how to fix it?

Could be due to 'Computer Browser' service. Sometimes the master browser transfers to a computer which isn`t working properly and stops you from seeing other devices.
Use the browstat.exe command to see status of browsing.
