Hmmmm.... even Microsoft was using WINS last I knew. They "might" be off of it by now, not sure.
Anyways - every big shop I've heard of still runs WINS.
Many of the admin tools by Microsoft don't work without it as they don't use DNS for resolution.
If you really want to know what's going on then put a sniffer on the desktop connection and read what it's doing. My guess is that it can't find what it's looking for one way or another. Whether it's because DNS is not setup correctly or TRUSTS are not setup or something else.
So let me see if I have this right.
You have as example 10 Domains within a single Forest and the accounts for users are within their own respective domains, yet you somehow run a logon script from the root of the Forest?
How can you logon another Domain without an account in that Domain? Maybe I'm missing something here and I've not worked on AD now for over a year so perhaps I don't get exactly what the issue is. In order to logon to another Domain don't you need an account in that Domain?
