Robert,
You will need to keep WINS around if you will be using 9x/nt4
clients. Only Win2k machines can logon to the domain using DNS. 9x machines
have to have WINS to map a drive, NT machines can use DNS to locate servers
if you select the "Use DNS for WINS resolution" check box in the clients
TCP/IP properties. Hope this helps.

Subject: DNS in AD environment
We are trying to get DNS working however we are having some problems. It
seems right now DNS is not working from the client, no drives being mapped,
it does seem to resolve a name after a while but not right away.
We are working on this from a 98 client as most of our machines are 98
currently.
I am not familiar with DNS, so please bear with me here! On our old network
we used WINS and DNS was just for Internet accesability. On the new 2k
network (migrating to, just testing now) our DC is also the DNS server. Is
there special configuration that I need to give the server after installing
DNS? Also, how would the clients be configured so that we can get the DNS
working (on W2K and 98 clients?).
Any information would help. Microsoft white papers and knowledge base
wasn't too helpful with this information.
Thanks!
Robert VadeBonCoeur
