Yeah I would take that bet too... Sucker bet on Brian's part. :oP I am one of the bemoaners on this. Doubt it will get changed, despite evidence to the contrary (say Exchange for instance) MS wants to think that WINS isn't required anymore so being dead tech shouldn't be updated.
However, to possibly jinx this to go the right way I will say... There is no chance whatsoever that Microsoft will ever fix it so WINS Administration can be delegated. They just aren't bright enough to pull it off... On top of that, they will never ever make it so you can disable registration of records on specific WINS Servers and make them only read-only or allow admins only to make registrations (say through NETSH or WINSCL) or say that only certain machines are allowed to update their records there. :o) joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Free, Bob Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD and WINS I'll take that bet :-) Many have bemoaned the fact that you can't delegate WINS administration or that there is no equivalent of DnsAdmins for WINS. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 11:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD and WINS I'm betting there's a control access right (aka extended right) you can delegate this group on your server OUs to manage WINS. No evidence, but, I'm inclined to believe there is such a thing. Look at the Server Ops delegations. --Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Payton on the Web!

Then all you have to do is populate the AD group with the users.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rutherford, Robert Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 11:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD and WINS I think Server op will do it. -----Original Message----- From: Depp, Dennis M. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 July 2004 16:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD and WINS I believe access to WINS requires local admin access. To allow them to administer WINS, they will have to be a local admin on the box where WINS is running. Denny -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rosales, Mario Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 10:51 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] AD and WINS Is there a way to restrict access to WINS like DNS in Server 2003? For Example, if we want the DNS admins to Administer the Wins servers, how do you go about give them access just to WINS administration? Any help would be appreciate it!
