If you're going to join the server to active directory, don't disable NetBIOS until after you've done the join. If memory serves, it STILL uses NetBIOS in part of the joining procedure.

________________________________ From: Christopher Bodnar [mailto:christopher_bod...@glic.com] Sent: 27 January 2011 14:46 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: WINS question If "disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" is selected on the WINS tab of the TCP/IP configuration of a client, and there are WINS servers specified, does the client register with the WINS server? Or does that bypass the registration process. My thought is that the client still registers with the WINS server, it just stops using NetBIOS over TCP/IP, but a colleague disagrees with me on this.
