Removing WINS but still having netbios resolution


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a Windows 2000 domain controller I am pulling out of an environment

for various reasons. The 20 desktops were pointing to that device for WINS,

but now they are going to be in the same workgroup on the same subnet. Since

they are in the

same workgroup, how can they still communicate by computer name? I assume

ensuring netbios over tcp/ip would do it. Anything else required?

Hello Joe,

 

You talk about workgroup, the workstations are not in the domain?

 

Best regards
