Default Hiding Vista PC from the network Browse List

I am trying to hide our general staff VISTA PC's from the network browse list.

Previously, in XP I was able to issue the command
net config server /hidden:yes via a startup script in a GPO and although
I've done this, the following is true:

1) Browse the network from an XP box and only the important servers appear
(desired)
2) Browse the network from a VISTA box and all the other vista machines
together with the important servers are shown, but none of the remaining XP
boxes are shown.

I want to be able to hide all VISTA boxes from each other. Obviously I need
network discover turned on and I wish to have file sharing on for
administration.

Any ideas?

Steve

Right click on the Command Prompt icon and select "Run as administrator"
at the command prompt type in "net config server /hidden:yes" , without the
quotes
