Configuration of "netbios-name-server" is sufficient as by default Windows
will use h-node which is fairly efficient way of name resolution.
In many environments Windows administrators prefer to configure node type on
DHCP server though.
Here is more information from Microsoft site:
NodeType
Key: Netbt\Parameters
Value Type: REG_DWORD - Number
Valid Range: 1,2,4,8 (B-node, P-node, M-node, H-node)
Default: 1 or 8 based on the WINS server configuration
Description: This parameter determines what methods NetBT will use to
register and resolve names. A B-node system uses broadcasts. A P-node system
uses only point-to-point name queries to a name server (WINS). An M-node
system broadcasts first, then queries the name server. An H-node system
queries the name server first, then broadcasts. Resolution through LMHOSTS
or DNS, if enabled, will follow these methods. If this key is present it
will override the DhcpNodeType key. If neither key is present, the system
defaults to B-node if there are no WINS servers configured for the network.
The system defaults to H-node if there is at least one WINS server
configured.

Subject: MS Windows WINS server
Question.
If I am told to configure a MS WINS server in my DHCP pool, do I also need
to include the netbios-node-type h-node command as a requirement? I am
looking for the correct syntax. I know that it required the
"netbios-name-server" but I see some examples that have both commands.
Which is correct?
