This howto video shows off Global Name Zones (GNZ), the replacement for WINS. It was possible for a Server 2003 to be a WINS server and resolve NetBIOS or NetBEUI requests over multiple network segments. (NetBIOS is not routable.) However, while Microsoft Windows Server 2008 can utilize NetBIOS, it can not be a WINS server. Instead, it utilizes Global Name Zones (GNZ). This is supposed to be the WINS killer, but only time will tell. This video uses the DNS (domain name service) console (GUI) and command line interface. I perform this on a Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller (Active Directory.) The commands I use are… dnscmd /config /enableglobalnamessupport 1 dnscmd server1.first.domain /recordadd winz fileserver cname printserver.domain.two dnscmd /config /globalqueryblocklist wpad isatap accounting dnscmd /info /globalqueryblocklist Providing training videos since last Tuesday. technoblogical.com Thanks for watching.
