[Samba] static only wins server
Since there's only a couple of server systems on the network that actually need name resolution or to be seen via NetBIOS browsing. Is there any reason not to run a static only WINS server with just the information for those systems listed? If not, then how can one stop the other systems from registering themselves?

Re: [Samba] static only wins server
If your windows clients use login scripts to map drives, then they don't need WINS at all, since they resolve hosts via DNS. However, if a client isn't using wins it will still use netbios browser to locate resource on the network.I am not sure if you can totally defeat this by pointing the windows clients to an inactive WINS server. If you don't have file and print sharing enable on the windows client that should prevent them from showing up a netbios resources.

I think that WINS is necessary for the clients to find the Domain Controller.

I want the WINS server to be active - just read only. Clients will receive P-Node instructions (WINS only) from the DHCP server.

Many of the client systems will not be under management control. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

I'm not referring to Active Directory, the Domain Controller is a Samba 3 box. On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 4:24 PM, Adam Tauno Williams awill...@whitemice.org wrote: ???
