No, you can't do without WINS yet. Maybe "in Longhorn time". Sincerely,

We have a AD structure with the following setup. DCs and servers W2K3 AND W2K. PCs NT4, W2K and XP. Name Resolutions DNS Server (with WINS lookup) WINS All clients have DNS name resolution activated. Some (older clients have both WINS and DNS) Most NT 4.0 clients have AD client. Obviously the NT 4.0 client do not ddns. We also have 2 clusters with Windows 2000. My question is the following. If I create static DNS records for the NT4 clients, can I do without WINS? What pitfalls and issues are there? Thanks (in advance) for your help.
