Title: Re: [ActiveDir] WINS

I'm really just a lurker on this list, but, last week I ran head-first into a  WINS/2003 Exchange issue adding a second Exchange Server into a new Exchange Administrative group in one of the domains within our AD forest. I'm not ruling out other DNS/Exchange connectivity issues, but, once we fixed a WINS push/pull replication issue between the two exchange domains, our Exchange Routing group connector started to function properly.    I too would love a definitive answer to how Exchange is using WINS.   zach teton county sheriff's office From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Tock Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 11:41 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] WINS Seems we need to get to the bottom of this. It seems that exchange just might need WINS to do netbios resolution at some instance. Now what is that instance? It seems not everybody will necessarily come across that instance.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Van Noy, Glen Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 12:28 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] WINS   Just curious, where in the deployment guide does it say that Exchange 2003 needs WINS?  We are running a clustered Exchange 2003 setup and we don't have WINS configured on our domain.   glen [EMAIL PROTECTED]    The University of Texas at Dallas     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Mezzone Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 12:20 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] WINS Unfortunetly it does.
