Hello all, I have some questions regarding samba's wins configuration in an environment where samba has been integrated with Windows 2003 Active Directory. We do not use WINS in our Active Directory environment and only use DNS. We have 2 samba servers, let's say they are named samba1 and samba2. samba1 is running 3.0.33-3.7.el5_3.1 and samba2 is running 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.8. Both of their configuration regarding WINS: name resolve order = hosts lmhosts bcast wins support = no dns proxy = no This seems to work fine but was wondering if there's a better configuration that I should be using. If this is not an ideal configuration, should I configure one of the samba servers, let's say samba1 as WINS and thus, change the configuration on them as follows? Since we're not going to set WINS configuration on our Windows client machines, they won't register to WINS on samba server though: change samba1's smb.conf: wins support = yes dns proxy = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast change samba2's smb.conf: wins server = IP of samba1 wins proxy = yes dns proxy = yes name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcast
