Title: Re: [ActiveDir] WINS

Page 51 of the Planning an Exchange Server 2003 Messaging System.

"Exchange requires WINS (even though Windows does not)

There's no additional information as to why Exchange requires it. I'll take a look in the Exchange 2003 Technical Reference Guide to see if mentions anything about WINS.

Okay, I will  look into it also.  We removed WINS from our forest about a year ago and have seen no ill effects. We are not real big, 2000 exchange accounts and 25000 users, but everything seems to be running fine without it. Over the next few months, we are going to add student accounts to Exchange, so we will end up with quite a few more accounts.

If I find out anything I will post it.

Thanks,

        I'll look when I get home. I remember reading about it a year ago and was bummed out. I thought I could rid myself of wins. I did run Exchange without wins for a while but added it being MS recommends it. Only thing is it didn't give a reason why. Just said it was needed. It may not be the deployment guide, it's in one of the three recommended reading documents, deployment, admin guide and I forget the name of the other doc (planning an exchange environment?)

        Just curious, where in the deployment guide does it say that Exchange 2003 needs WINS?  We are running a clustered Exchange 2003 setup and we don't have WINS configured on our domain.

                Unfortunetly it does. I thought it didn't until I read the deployment guide. Recently upgraded for 5.5.

                Is WINS still needed for exchange 2003? Some have said outlook still needs
                WINS.
