Re: NT4 WINS in a W2K3 Forest

Hi,

Thanks for update!

Correct. You may upgrade the PDC to Windows 2003 DC and leave WINS running
on the BDCs until you are ready to migrate WINS.

More information for your reference:

I hope my information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.

Thanks & Regards,
