Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a legacy computer name registration and resolution service that maps computer NetBIOS names to IP addresses.
If WINS is not yet deployed on your network, do not deploy WINS; instead, deploy Domain Name System (DNS). DNS also provides computer name registration and resolution services, and offers many other benefits over WINS, such as integration with Active Directory Domain Services.
If WINS is already deployed on your network, it is recommended that you deploy DNS and remove WINS.
