solaris samba configuration without wins service from authentication window server/Active directory

Hi All, We are using solaris samba server for our company project to provide access to code to our development team.Recently our ICT has disabled wins service on Active directory due which user are not able to connect to samba share and they are getting error "No logon server available" as samba server is not able use wins service from active directory for netbios resolution. Can you guys help me with possible solution how samba can made to work without wins enabled on active directory. At the moment our ICT has enabled wins service, but in coming days they will be disabling wins service and we have to configure samba without usage of wins service.

I've used AD authentication without having NIS enabled.

What does your smb.cfg look like?

Usually something like this would be enough:
Code:
[global]
netbios name=YOUR_HOSTNAME
workgroup=YOUR_LOCALDOMAIN
security=ads
realm=YOUR_ADS_REALM
password server=YOUR_PWD_SERVER

This is my current configuration for samba

Workgroup = Domain name
netbios name = Hostname
server string = %L
security = domain
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
create mask = 744
directory mask = 755
log level = 1
log file = /var/log/samba.log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
getwd cache = yes
aio read size = 1
aio write size =1
password server = Password server

Below is the error i get when wins is disabled on AD.


[2011/11/22 11:28:32, 3] libsmb/namequery.c:1971(get_dc_list)
get_dc_list: preferred server list: ", <Password server>, <Password Server>"
