Do I understand correctly that WINS is required for Exchange 2003?
My Exchange server will be a dedicated box (not the DC)
I assume that I need to make my DC a WINS server. Correct?

Now what about Native mode? Native or not.
Brand new network (still in the box) all Win2003 Enterprise with Exchange
2003
Is the question whether or not I need NetBIOS?
Is there an application that can be run to test? If not, what are the
questions that I need to ask my software vendors? Some of our main
applications are SQLite and we run a lot of programs that are MS Access
databases on the back end.

Thank you in advance.
Scott
