I was going through the schema extension document from MS site. It points
out that if you do not extend the Schema the following is not supported
1. Support for Global Roaming - Which we do not require (medium company)
2. Automatic detection of the server locator point without WINS - I am
assuming that this statement says that if you do not have WINS on the
primary and secondary sites, then the desktops will not be able to locate
the SMS server? Is this my correct assumption?
Yes it is correct. What that is saying is if AD is not extended with the SMS
extensions, the clients need some mechanism to discover how to locate the
appropriate SMS Management point. Without the AD schema extensions, the
client falls over to WINS and looks for a Server Locator Point (SLP) that
should have a static entry defined in WINS, the SLP offers up the Management
Point information to the client. Without the AD extensions or WINS SLP
entry, the clients cannot detect an SMS server.
BTW, in this scenario WINS would be defined in your Domain, not specifically
on your primary or secondary SMS sites.
