I'll just toss in that this has not been my experience in routed
environments. If you have Legacy client Oss(or downlevel NT 4.0 domains)
with VPNs and routed networks and you require NetBIOS based apps like file
sharing then you should keep WINS for quick NB name resolution.
This has just been my experience with AD/DDNS, ymmv. There may very well be
ways to avoid WINS in practice, but I've yet to see it.

What are you trying to resolve?
If DNS is configured properly on a Win2k server then 95/98/nt/w2k clients
can use it for name resolutions regardless if it is AD integrated or not.

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!
