This is going to sound a little weird, but can you consolidate your to answers that included more info, such as this one, and the one below it, into your first question. This can be done using the edit button for your question, and then deleting this 'answer', and the one below to jazz. This way we can keep things together.

I think the main error message here is: There is already a domain master browser at IP 10.10.30.150 for workgroup KHL registered on subnet 10.10.30.160..

There suggested solution over here is:

It is cached data, probably in wins.dat. Stop samba, drop the file, restart and the problem goes away.

If that doesn't help, this conversation might help you.
