TCPIP and WINS

[Joanne Korol_1]

The NT/AD server guys will be shutting down a local WINS server and the new WINS servers will be located at our corporate location.

I can't for the life of me think of anything on our OpenVMS server that would register itself with WINS, can you?

[Richard Whalen · Accepted solution]

Are you running Advanced Server (Pathworks)?

That's the only way that I could think of them being involved.

Other than SAMBA or PATHWORKS Server or some local software oddity, you won't find WINS involved with OpenVMS.

OpenVMS and most other similar systems use DNS/BIND. Not WINS.

Thanks for the confirmation! That was my exact reply! :)

Sorry for a late reply - been away.

Since you mention AD, are you doing LDAP authentication for PMDF, PMAS, or anything else?
