IS WINS USE TO REMOVE NETBIOS BROADCAST TRAFFIC


"is wins use remove netbios broadcast traffic"

hi all,

my new network engineer suggested me deploy wins server stopping netbios broadcast,actually use internal application used single pipline (name) "sql-lhe" connect sql server.

we have ad integrated dns,dhcp server on our environment.

pls reply

regards,

  asking?

  yes, installing wins cut down on broadcasts if using netbios names. without wins, netbios resolves names broadcasting on network. if install wins , make machines wins clients, client machines register wins , clients resolve netbios names looking them in wins.

  dns different. not involve netbios or broadcasts. dns names looked in dns.

  if have name without dot in name (eg fred rather fred.lcl) client try resolve using both methods.
