Dear Joe, I was surprised to not see you mention, in this thread, anything about whether or not you should run WINS on a DC. Could you please just tell me if you are doing it? I am trying to troubleshoot why turning WINS on on a FSMO in a small Forest (2 DCs, 3 member servers, 5 Users) takes the DC offline. It worked fine for two months, then I went home one Friday night and came in Monday and it stopped working. I hope the Chicken Shack Broasted Chicken was good. I need you to keep your strength up ;-D Rocky Habeeb Microsoft Systems Administrator James W.

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.
