[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS 151016/ 151017 not listed in network environment

[Guenther Alka]

Hallo Dan
This is not related to Windows AD but a problem that the Solarish kernel 
SMB server does not offer a master browser capability that is needed to 
provide the list of SMB servers in Windows "network neighborhood".

So you need a Windows or SAMBA server in the subnet that provides this 
feature.
This worked together with my 151014 boxes that are listed in network 
neighborhood

thanks
