8.4.2 WINS<br />

8.4 Extended Configuration<br />

j) No, do not confirm the incoming trust should be selected and confirmed with [Next].<br />

k) The displayed change status of The trust relationship was successfully created and con-<br />

firmed. must be confirmed by clicking on [Fertig stellen].<br />

l) The trust relationship is displayed under Trusted domains (outgoing trust relationship)<br />

Windows operating systems use so-called NetBIOS names when operating in networks. Similar to DNS in<br />

TCP/IP networks, the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is used for resolving such NetBIOS names<br />

into IP addresses. In addition, WINS provides information on the services of the hosts.<br />

The WINS service can also be adopted by Samba. WINS data can also be replicated among several<br />

systems. Information on setting up WINS replication can be found in the <strong>Univention</strong> Support database at<br />

http://sdb.univention.de/1107<br />

If only one WINS server is being used and this server should collapse, the WINS server can be activated<br />

on another Samba server by inputting a few commands (see Chapter 8.4.2.1).<br />

WINS is activated by setting the <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration Registry variable windows/wins-support<br />

on the desired Samba server to yes. (Correspondingly, WINS is deactivated by emptying the variable or<br />

setting it to no).<br />

As standard, WINS support is activated on the PDC. If more than one Samba server is being used, other<br />

servers can be assigned the FQDN or the IP address or the WINS server via the <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration<br />

Registry variable windows/wins-server.<br />

The <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration Registry variables are used for setting the Samba parameters wins sup-<br />

port and wins server. On a Samba server where WINS is activated, there may be no WINS server<br />

entered in the Samba configuration. This is why the value of the <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration Registry vari-<br />

able windows/wins-server is only entered into the Samba configuration if windows/wins-support<br />

is not set to yes.<br />

If the value of windows/wins-support or windows/wins-server is changed, Samba has to be re-<br />

started via <strong>Univention</strong> Management Console in order to make the changes valid.<br />

The WINS server can be made known to the Windows clients via DHCP. To do this the WINS server must<br />

be entered in the [NetBIOS] tab for the corresponding DHCP object in <strong>Univention</strong> Directory Manager or<br />

connected with a container above the object using a DHCP-NetBIOS policy.<br />

When migrating a Windows domain where the Samba-WINS server is using the same IP address as the<br />

Windows-WINS server, there is no need to enter a new WINSServer on Windows clients which have no<br />

DHCP. A virtual network interface on the Samba-WINS server which has the IP address of the Windows-<br />

WINS server assigned, serves the same purpose.<br />
