What does this message mean....

The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_E100B1 because a
Windows NT Server (or domain master) browser is started.

It means an election was forced in order to elect a
master browser responsible for maintaining the local
list for it's subnet. Common / harmless when one of
your current servers is restarted. A problem if the
error occurs frequently e.g., every 5 minutes.
