RE: Using exchange server without a WINS/DNS server ???

Experienced the same here. Did a small Exchange site for our JV and the dns
entries for the server were hosed.  The symptom was Outlook would lock up
within 10 seconds of opening.  We used HOSTS as a workaround until DNS was
fixed.

All I can tell you, Rick (notwithstanding your place of employment), is that
when we were having DNS issues, Outlook didn't work very well. It would take
at least 2 or 3 minutes for it to open, and quite often navigating between
inbox folders experienced the same delay. WINS was working fine, and pinging
servers by name was no problem. When I created a HOSTS file with the
Exchange server names in it and did an "nbtstat -R", Outlook behaved just
fine. Of course, once DNS was fixed, things were fine as well. WINS and
NetBios did come into play, but only after DNS resolution timed out and
failed.

Chunky Monkey here.

I think you'll find Outlook struggles more than a little bit without
being able to resolve NetBios names.

Would using a HOSTS file be better(quicker)? I'M thinking LMHOSTS is the
last on the list when searching for hosts. Yes..no?

WINS.

If there are only 4 users... you could even deploy an LMHOSTS file (WINS
is
preferred)
