Question : WINS, do I use or not?
Hello Experts
I would like to know if I should add WINS service back into my network or not. The environment is all Windows 2003 servers and Windows XP clients. I removed WINS about a month ago because I believe that DNS takes the place of this service. Ever since I have done this, the network client PC's take between 2 - 6 minutes to boot up. I have even had instances where the PC took 10 - 12 minutes to get to a usable Desktop. I am conteplating reinstalling WINS again.
Your advice, thoughts, and help are greatly appreciated.

That is most likely your problem. DHCP can pass down your DNS servers addresses. Also with DHCP client disabled, you might not easily get a DHCP address.
