[Samba] Fwd: Win 7 Pro

[samba at printflow.eu]

I added WINS server to my DHCP config and  now I join domain. THX ! I 
did not undo settings from http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 to 
check. I will try with next machine in about week. This page also noted 
that registry setting is not needed with patch from MS witch seems be 
instaled.

This led me to other question, I have two PDCs on my network for two 
companies. If I set both WINS server in DHCP setting may I expect it 
will work? Does w7 checks both of them?
