Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Name Resolution Infrastructure for MCSE Exam 70-293

Overview

In today's well-connected network-centric world, name resolution is a critical component of any Windows Server 2003 network. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) has fallen out of favor with the move away from the Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS) and NetBIOS Extended User Interface (NetBEUI), but it is still lingering in the background for many administrators who are faced with maintaining a heterogeneous network environment. Despite the fact that Windows Server 2003 (and Windows 2000 Server for that matter) runs on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) through and through, many networks still must support legacy Windows 9x and NT clients; thus, WINS still has a small place in Windows Server 2003 and therefore in the MCSE exam.
