Can we remove Wins server in windows 2000 active directory

Asked by chencharlie1 in Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, WINS

Tags: , , ,

We have windows 2000 active directory environmennt with wins server (on windows 2003 standard) and dns server (on windows 2000).
every computer is pointing to the DNS server and Wins server.
I am wondering if we can remove the Wins server and just use DNS server in our environment.
If yes, what is the disadvantage?
Thanks.Start Free Trial
