Sonicwall VPN Tunnel unable to ping or RDP LAN

My business has two offices.  The main office (A) and the remote office (B).  Office A has a sonicwall nsa240 and office B has a tz210.  Currently, the tunnel is functioning properly and office B can access office A via mapped drives.  However, we have discovered that office B cannot ping any of the pc's in office A by name.  Office B also cannot remote desktop any of the pcs at office A by name except for the server.  Office A is where the main server is located and office B can ping it by name and also access it via RDP.  Why would office B be able to access the server this way, but not the desktops?  Office B needs to be able to RDP by name the PCs in office A.  Hope this makes sense.

I suppose there is a problem with WINS Server. Netbios resolution don't work over the VPN connection, so , you have to use the WINS service.

Consider that it is better to use DNS resolution to join your desktop; it will be more easy to manage DNS Server than WINS Server.
