Hi Ned,

On question # 2 (dsrevoke), I also had a blog entry on using the Get-QADPermission and the Reporting Powerpack (PowerGUI) for creating nice HTML reports for AD Delegations.

Thanks,

On the subject of WINS and SCCM, we have extended the schema but still needed it because without it we had all sorts of trouble with mulicast imaging

Ha, WINS.

I just said Friday: "Don't go introducing any WINS reliance - I plan to remove it" (then in my head I said 'someday').

Apparently without schema extensions for SCCM (which we're deploying) WINS traffic is generated to locate the servers.

technet.microsoft.com/.../bb633121.aspx

"When Configuration Manager site information is published to Active Directory Domain Services, Configuration Manager clients can automatically detect server locator points and management points without generating Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) traffic. If Configuration Manager site information is not published to Active Directory Domain Services, you might have to add Configuration Manager site role information in WINS manually. For more information about publishing Configuration Manager information to Active Directory Domain Services, see the following tasks: "

Nothing more terrifying than a Chihuahua guarding the gates of Hades, Steve. I wonder if the ferryman to the river Styx would be Paris Hilton?

Thanks Mike. That's re-published Exchange 2007 help info, so I'll open a bug with them to see if they need to edit their article and the help. I don't know (ok, I mean care :-P) about Exchnage so this will be on them to iron out.

As a side note, the original asker of this question mentioned that they have a disjointed DNS namespace and that is leading to some issues without WINS when they try to rename computers. More on that as the story develops.

Going WINS'less is definitely going to have some "except if" answers.

Exchange 2003/7 do not require WINS. They need to be able to resolve single label names of other servers, but this can be done with the default behavior of Windows (append dns suffix of the domain in queries). In a multi-domain environment, where the target server is not local, additional suffixes can be appended using group policies, or local server configuration.
