He is totally against MS Products, specially Exchange, so much so that he even creates DLs only on a Unix box and then Unix box sends it to individual members (yes, his Priv is 45GB for 125 people in two months). Exchange was made the standard platform because of all the things that it can offer versus SendMail which they used before they were bought by us. He wants to have as few NT servers as possible, thus WINS on Exchange. He just informed me that he has the secondary WINS on Exchange to be one of the WINS server at our location (West Coast, they are in East Coast) and would not listen to me that he should have the Primary and Secondary on a WINS server to be itself for reasons like database fragmentation and which server really own the database etc... Thanks for everyone who replied. I have sent to them to our CTO.
