If you have Windows NT machines that are members of the domain on all subnets
and you are sure they will always be running, you can disable Samba from taking
part in browser elections and ever becoming a Local Master Browser by setting
the following options in the [global] section of the smb.conf file
Example 10.5. smb.conf for not being a master browser
[global]
domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 0
