Workgroup Name: The domain or workgroup that the server will belong to. In
this case, Workgroup and Domain are interchangeable.
WINS Address: Address of WINS server to be used to locate the primary
domain controller (PDC), if the PDC and server running Novell Native File
Access Protocols software are on different subnets.
Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), part of the Microsoft Windows
NT and 2000 Servers, manages the association of workstation names and
locations with Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. WINS automatically creates
and maintains a computer name and corresponding IP address mapping entry
in a table. When a computer is moved to another geographic location, the
subnet part of the IP address is likely to change. Using WINS, the new subnet
information will be updated automatically in the WINS table.
Domain Authentication
A simple password is not required for domain authentication. Since the
password is kept on the Windows domain controller, it is not possible to use
Windows’ native Change Password feature to change the password. Instead,
you must use Windows’ domain management utilities. To work properly, the
username and password on the domain controller must match the username
and password used to log in to the Windows workstation.
