Bill,
There used to be a Browser Monitor tool in the Windows NT 4 Resource Kit,
which I believe you should still be able to download.
The tool will show you all the master and backup browsers on your network,
as well as the computers and domains/workgroups they know of. It does not
necessarily say which are "good" - I guess you will still need to review the
list manually.
