In this configuration, netbios unicast and broadcast discovery (including WINS) is not used. Clients discover the AD server(s) via DHCP, which points them to other hosts via an unholy mixture of LDAP and DNS. Clients will still send out legacy netbios noise as a fallback mechanism when something goes wrong. Ignore it. The DNS traffic you have noticed is probably relevant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
