-------------------------------------------------------Neither one had
this dependency.
Exch 2000 runs only on Win2K and Win2K3.
Both of these OS prefer DNS to WINS for name resolution and if your
network structure provides good DNS services, WINS is a non-issue for
Exchange 2K+.

-------------------------------------------------------Hi Jim,
Looks like your post never made it to the Active Dir list. If I recall
Exchange 2000 clustered still had dependencies on Wins, and I was told
at a
Microsoft Technet event that Exchange 2003 clustered no longer had this
requirement, until I saw the Microsoft article that I pointed out
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;837391 .
Jose

getting
changed.
I'm putting in the technical update today.
It's wrong
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Wrgonggitty-wrong-wrong Wrong!
WINS is *NOT* required for Exch functionality, but proper name
resolution support in the network *IS* required. If you've built your
network, name services & clients properly, using a "simple" name gets
you the same response as using FQDN in a "ping" command.

-------------------------------------------------------Hi Mike,
Looks like you are going to also have dependencies on Wins and with
the

Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server require NetBIOS name
resolution for full functionality

Hi Mike,
I've only had to change a SQL 2000 Active / Active Cluster IP and it
involves some additional steps for SQL Virtual Names. It's been over 5
years
since I built an Exchange 2000 cluster, but I do not recall if
Exchange
has
any dependencies (I would probably post this to the Exchange list and
I
am
cc'ing them as well)
Take a look at :

Or in PDF format at:

ng/Q230356.pdf
Also just in case you ever have to change it on a SQL:

Hope this helps,

Subject: [ActiveDir] Change private IP on a cluster
Hey,
I have an Exchange 2003 active/passive cluster on Windows 2003 and I
need
to change the private ip on both nodes. I realize that while I'm
changing the IP the nodes will not talk to each other and likely kick
the passive node off or stop the cluster service for a few minutes on
the passive node.
Is there anything else I will need to do or look out for? I don't
*think* this is a big deal but since it's a production cluster, and
I've
never had to do this, I thought I would check before I tried it.
Thanks again.
Mike.
