Computer Browser service in Microsoft networks maintains the list of shared
resources. The Master and backup browsers are chosen throught election
process. The selection criterias are OS version, being a domain controller,
computer NetBIOs name, etc. Elections are forced any time the new computer
capable of being a master browser is started. All windows server OS and
w95 by default trying to become a master browser and participate in
elections.
What is happening in your case is that your Citrix server wins election and
becomes a master browser. Then another server is booted up and forces the
election process.
There is no need for Citrix server to be a master browser. This task is
usually handled by a domain controller. There are registry keys you can
modify and your citrix box will never try to win the election.
For NT Server the reg key is HKLM\System\Current
ControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\MaintainServerList
if it is NO - never become a Master browser
Yes - Server will try to become a master browser (default for NT
Server)
Auto - Server can possibly become a Master Browser (default for
NT Workstation)

Subject: [THIN] Errors on citrix xp server
I am getting the following error in the eventvwr of a citrix server that
keeps rebooting itself. Anyone know what this is? The only thing I could
find had to do with win 2000 server and this is a win nt tse server.
================================================
Event ID 8003
The master browser has received a server announcement from the
computer VDIBDC01 that believes that it is the master browser for
the domain on transport NetBT_iANSMiniport3. The master browser
is stopping or an election is being forced.
