No WINS, just DNS = Network Neighborhood?

Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to have Windows populate Network Neighborhood with a list of computers from DNS instead of using WINS?

I'm reading up on the DisableStrictNameChecking and some other things about migrating off of WINS; but it seems pretty excessive to have WINS going.

Thanks,

Matt
 
Yes, ever since Server 2000 came out...I've not had a problem having client workstations properly browse the network with just DNS.

Err..why is it crappy?
But yeah, network places, or via the start ==> Run \\computername command, etc.

Network Neighborhood required WINS..because that was back in the Win9X/NT days. 2K and on up..it's My Network Places.
