So, is that what you've been doing in this last 'Joe has gone missing' period? Putting the final touches on CPAU?

On further reflection. You could use CPAU with the job functionality to fire the WINS console as an admin... You would want to check for security implications like seeing if the MMC can be made to do other things by adding more snapins or whatever...

I doubt MS will put much work into doing it either since they truly want to kill it although I like it. :o) joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gregoire Maux Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 8:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Delegation of control for WINS Dennis, - If we are in the case that the WINS Server is also a DC, what could be the solution?

As long as your WINS servers are not domain controllers, this is not a problem. If your domain controllers are performing double duty as WINS servers well.... You might consider standing up one member server as a WINS server. Any local admins on this machine will be able to manage WINS from this server.

At that time, you did not receive any clear answer on that. - Could you please tell what you did in fact? What access rights did you give to people in charge of WINS service? - One more question, I am wondering if you still have many WINS Server in your architecture or if you reduce its number as some other administrators strongly suggest you to do? - Many thanks in advance for your help. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > > > From: Dennis Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:43 PM > > > > > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > > > > > Subject: [ActiveDir] WINS administration > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Anyone: > > > > > We would like to control who has the ability to make > > > > > modifications to WINS, like adding static entries, > tombstoning > > > > > bad records,....etc. We have deployed Active > Directory DC's to > > > > > several nationwide offices and want to be able to > delegate this > > > > > control to local administrators without making them a domain > > > > > admin.
