    I am administering a domain with over 100 computers. Previously, someone
    set them up with static addresses in the WINS tab. Who know why this was
    done, but I want it gone now. Instead of touching every computer myself,
    can I disable this in group policy, and just refresh it? This is causing a
    lot of problems. Thanks in advance.
