WINS

[Guest]

I have WINS running on my network (Windows 2000 AD, Win2k and Win2k3
machines) but I think I don't have any legacy systems or applications that
would use it. What other not legacy systems should I check before turning off
the WINS?
Thank you.

Hello mtler,

The question is did you use NetBios name resolution for whatever reason?
Have you subnets and browse with network neighborhood?

Best regards

Network Places (Network Neighborhood) requires it if there is more than one
subnet.

The resource draw for WINS is very low,...just keep using it,...it can be more
work to deal without it than it is to deal with it.

I may need to use subnets in the near future. I'll keep WINS.
Thank you.
