I don't believe we're in the same boat. We were a NetWare shop until June of '07. The previous admin new NetWare, but not much else. I can't see that any of our applications have a need for WINS. This particular application I was having a problem with needs to resolve to an IP address by name, which DNS is more than capable of handling. :-) I've seen reports here and there about VPN issues when a WINS server isn't present, I'll have to test that scenario with our VPN, but I don't anticipate that being a problem.
