Even in NT 4.0. joe just wouldn't admit that it was a kludge, even for someone with his expertise. He was always chasing after some errant 1C and 1B (or is it 3x) records that periodically go missing for no reason.

Apparently you never used WINS in NT 3.50... :-)

The suffering point was that DNS is harder to configure, Manage, and
troubleshoot than WINS.

But I agree... lets move on :)

You realize of course that WINS is simply an implementation of NBNS as per
RFC. The only things not RFCed were replication and management interfaces...


See RFC1001 (1987)
See RFC1002 (1987)


I wouldn't recommend trying to infer what people are running based on some
of the comments here either; lots of very heavy duty Enterprise experience
with devices on networks most folks on this list likely have never seen
before and may never see.

"IMO we suffer with DNS because MS decided to go with Kerberos. "

What?

I like standards. I REALLY like standards.

I infer you ain't got no boxes running OS X, Unix, Red Hat, Ubuntu that you
need to deal with.

Last I checked, it was the 21st century. All Windows shops are getting
harder to find each day.

Welcome Suresh!. Wear your armor when posting here.

Next time you see Brett, please ask him to tell you a story about WINS and ESENT cache.

Maybe because you are recalling this poorly Deji.

I wasn't always chasing errant 1C/1B records, I wasn't ever chasing errant
1B/1C records but then you weren't involved in the Enterprise domain stuff
where we worked, you worked on resource dp,aom servers. We occasionally has
Samba boxes hijacking 1C records and I had a script that monitored that so
when it happened we had it fixed in very short order. Outside of that the
biggest issue was "admins" miscofiguring servers to either not point at the
proper WINS servers or loading and running the WINS Service on them. Got to
the point where when someone would call with a WINS issue my team would
first check the member server in question to make sure it was configured
properly and it usually wasn't. Didn't matter how many times we tried to
explain you couldn't configure WINS on a server than then point it at
another WINS server for name res and have it work properly.

WINS worked very well for us on NT4. Possibly it was simply the quality of
the admins running it.

You know we didn't run Windows DNS at all. We needed functionality that MSFT
didn't put in because they thought they knew what we were doing...

Even in NT 4.0. joe just wouldn't admit that it was a kludge, even for
someone with his expertise. He was always chasing after some errant 1C and
1B (or is it 3x) records that periodically go missing for no reason.

The suffering point was that DNS is harder to configure, Manage, and
troubleshoot than WINS.

But I agree... lets move on :)

"I have to admit... I didnt do much in NT 3.5"

It didn't have PoSΏ] so he didn't know how to do anything... Or maybe he
was moping...

;o)

joe


P.S. Not sure if Brandon owned up to it on the list yet, but I will "out"
him and say he is a PoS MVP... Here is his blog -
http://bsonposh.com/modules/wordpress/ It is actually fairly interesting
stuff if you are working with PowerShell. However, don't expect the "About"
page to be updated from "This is an example of a Wordpress page..." until
WordPress comes out with a PoS provider... So, in other words... not anytime
soon.


Ώ] This would be PowerShell. PS won't work, that has other more important
meaning and well PoSh... this is PoSh ->

You cleverly side-stepped the question, joe.

If you truly believe that the health of a WINS implementation is directly proportional to the "quality" of its implementor/administrator, then is it not logical to assume the same of DNS?

Did I just hear you say "DNS worked very well for us on NT4 (and beyond).
Possibly it was simply the quality of the admins running it"?

Does that mean you are going to stop dumping on DNS now?

Maybe because you are recalling this poorly Deji.

I wasn't always chasing errant 1C/1B records, I wasn't ever chasing errant
1B/1C records but then you weren't involved in the Enterprise domain stuff
where we worked, you worked on resource dp,aom servers. We occasionally has
Samba boxes hijacking 1C records and I had a script that monitored that so
when it happened we had it fixed in very short order. Outside of that the
biggest issue was "admins" miscofiguring servers to either not point at the
proper WINS servers or loading and running the WINS Service on them. Got to
the point where when someone would call with a WINS issue my team would
first check the member server in question to make sure it was configured
properly and it usually wasn't. Didn't matter how many times we tried to
explain you couldn't configure WINS on a server than then point it at
another WINS server for name res and have it work properly.

WINS worked very well for us on NT4. Possibly it was simply the quality of
the admins running it.

Maybe because you are recalling this poorly Deji.

I wasn't always chasing errant 1C/1B records, I wasn't ever chasing errant
1B/1C records but then you weren't involved in the Enterprise domain stuff
where we worked, you worked on resource dp,aom servers. We occasionally has
Samba boxes hijacking 1C records and I had a script that monitored that so
when it happened we had it fixed in very short order. Outside of that the
biggest issue was "admins" miscofiguring servers to either not point at the
proper WINS servers or loading and running the WINS Service on them. Got to
the point where when someone would call with a WINS issue my team would
first check the member server in question to make sure it was configured
properly and it usually wasn't. Didn't matter how many times we tried to
explain you couldn't configure WINS on a server than then point it at
another WINS server for name res and have it work properly.

WINS worked very well for us on NT4. Possibly it was simply the quality of
the admins running it.

That might be the case - but I think the point is that WINS is less complex to manage.

So it'll take fewer admins/lower TCO/fewer operational risks vs. DNS, given the same quality admins.

WINS and DNS], the TCO for WINS would be HIGHER.
