Configuring WINS...

After configuring your DNS service, you can either use Add Programs or Configure Your Server applet to install the WINS service.

The WINS service works in conjunction with DNS, the only configuration needed is to select the server and to 'Authorize' the server through Active Directory, catch 22 you have to have WINS to set up Active Directory, you have to have Active Directory to authorize WINS. Neat. You can leave the authorization until the Active Directory installation is complete. Your network services server would have a lower work load with WINS on a MS Windows enviroment.

WINS has a feature that can replicate itself to another WINS server. If you have another server the process is quite simple. The built in help will walk you through the process.
