Why would i need WINS?
Well, in small, unrouted networks all NetBIOS name resolution will
work with broadcasts. With WINS in this situation you reduce some of
the broadcast traffic and NetBIOS name resolution may be a bit faster.
In routed networks WINS is a necessity.
The second DC is dedicated for keeping AD copy and validate id SBS is down.
Now, I don't know what the purpose of your second DC is. And I don't
know to which extent you stick to SBS' defaults. By default SBS
installs WINS, and DHCP configures all clients to use WINS in hybrid
mode (0x8): try WINS first, then try a broadcast.
NO, as I said, AD copy.
If the purpose of the DC is redundancy and load-balancing, I think it
would be a good idea to configure WINS on that box as well and have
the two WINS services replicate with each other.
If clients are configured with a WINS server and don't find one or
don't find the records they expect, NetBIOS name resolution will be
much slower and hence network access.
If the DC is for a branch-office, you will need WINS.
