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.
