which protocol provides names and name resolution for workgroups in windows?
active directory
since the release of windows 2000, the use of wins for name resolution has been deprecated by microsoft, with hierarchical dynamic dns now configured as the default name resolution protocol for all windows operating systems. resolution of (short) netbios names by dns requires that a dns client expand short names, usually by appending a connection-specific dns suffix to its dns lookup queries. wins can still be configured on clients as a secondary name resolution protocol for interoperability with legacy windows environments and applications. further, microsoft dns servers can forward name resolution requests to legacy wins servers in order to support name resolution integration with legacy (pre-windows 2000) environments that do not support dns.
