 Posted: Mon May 15, 2006 7:53 pm Post subject: 2K AD and WINNS |
 |
|
Hi all,
We're using 2000 AD (single forest and domain) and have DCs below:
Server A, first DC (migraded from a NT4 PDC), DNS, DHCP and GC
Server B, second DC with Exchange 2000 also DNS and GC
Server C, third DC with no GC.
Server D, NT4 BDC with WINS.
I'm going to get rid of the last NT4 BDC and move to its WINS to any of 2K
DC.
My question is which DC should have the WINS? server A or server C?
Also I'm going to move IM from serverA to server C because server C is not a
GC, and server A will keep the other 4 roles. Is this OK?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance,
Roger |

if you only have ONE AD domain, make ALL DCs a GC and you might as well keep
all FSMOs on the same DC...
as you have three DCs and one of them as Exchange I would either remove
Exchange from it or demote the DC to a member server.
You could also have BOTH DCs (A and C) host DNS and WINS for redundancy

Thanks for the reply.
You mean I don't have to move IM from A to C and keep all 5 FSMO roles in
the A?
For the Server B (Exchange2K), I'll remove Exchange eventully after a new
Exchange2003 take place on a new server which is dedicated for Exchange
server only.
For the WINS, you think it stays with A and set C as WINS for the redunancy.
Anything I need to pay attention when I add WINS to A and C?
Thanks,
Roger

Well, 1 WINS server will be enough. However, if the only WINS server goes
down for some reason, you don't have WINS anymore until restored or
reinstalled.

Having redundant WINS.....
* Don't forget to adjust ALL servers and clients (DHCP scopes?) to point to
both WINS servers otherwise while having only one will be used
* Make sure each WINS only points to itself for a WINS server (= best
practice!)

Suppose, 2K doamain has DNS and don't have to use WINS, but some applicatios
are rely on the WINS like CA Arcserver backup solution.
Does WINS must be with DNS together?
Thanks for your all help

you are correct... you need to use WINS if NetBIOS is still used by the OS
or application.
No, DNS and WINS do not need to be on the same box if that is what you are
asking

remove Exchange from it or demote the DC to a member server.
You could also have BOTH DCs (A and C) host DNS and WINS for
redundancy

Hi all,
We're using 2000 AD (single forest and domain) and have DCs below:
Server A, first DC (migraded from a NT4 PDC), DNS, DHCP and GC
Server B, second DC with Exchange 2000 also DNS and GC
Server C, third DC with no GC.
Server D, NT4 BDC with WINS.
I'm going to get rid of the last NT4 BDC and move to its WINS to any
of 2K DC.
My question is which DC should have the WINS? server A or server C?
Also I'm going to move IM from serverA to server C because server C
is not a GC, and server A will keep the other 4 roles. Is this OK?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance,
Roger

right click "registrations" or something like that and select display

Thanks for your help!
I installed WINS in the server C and let it replicating with ServerD (NT4
BDC).
But I cannot view the database from W2000 WINS server, where is it?
Thanks,
Roger

you are correct... you need to use WINS if NetBIOS is still used by the
OS or application.
No, DNS and WINS do not need to be on the same box if that is what you
are asking

Suppose, 2K doamain has DNS and don't have to use WINS, but some
applicatios are rely on the WINS like CA Arcserver backup solution.
Does WINS must be with DNS together?
Thanks for your all help

You mean I don't have to move IM from A to C and keep all 5 FSMO
roles in the A?
YES, but make sure ALL DCs are a GC!
For the Server B (Exchange2K), I'll remove Exchange eventully after a
new Exchange2003 take place on a new server which is dedicated for
Exchange server only.
Sounds great!
For the WINS, you think it stays with A and set C as WINS for the
redunancy.
Well, 1 WINS server will be enough. However, if the only WINS server
goes down for some reason, you don't have WINS anymore until restored
or reinstalled.
Anything I need to pay attention when I add WINS to A and C?
Having redundant WINS.....
* Don't forget to adjust ALL servers and clients (DHCP scopes?) to
point to both WINS servers otherwise while having only one will be
used
* Make sure each WINS only points to itself for a WINS server (= best
practice!)

if you only have ONE AD domain, make ALL DCs a GC and you might as
well keep all FSMOs on the same DC...
as you have three DCs and one of them as Exchange I would either
remove Exchange from it or demote the DC to a member server.
You could also have BOTH DCs (A and C) host DNS and WINS for
redundancy
