Windows internet Name Service (WINS) provides a dynamic replicated database service that can register and resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses used on your network. The Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 family provides WINS, which enables the server computer to act as a NetBIOS name server and register and resolve names for WINS-enabled client computers on your network as described in the NetBIOS over TCP/IP standards.

DNS Without WINS on Server 2003?

That's actually fairly common. DNS is required for Active Directory domain controllers in Server 2003, but WINS is only used for older NetBEUI clients. The use of NetBEUI is deprecated in most modern Windows networks, so a WINS server is rarely used.
