Heuristics for finding a Win2K domain controller ...

[Norbert Püschel]

Hi,

WINS is only used for backward compatibility in Win2K. The DCs are found
via their
DNS entries; they have entries of type SRV in _msdcs.your.domain, where
your.domain is
your DNS domain _and_ your W2K-domain.

Your DNS must support dynamic DNS for this to work. W2Ks DNS-server does
this, as does BIND 8/9.

Hope this helps.

Bye,
  Norbert
