I'm looking to set our WINS servers via GPO, is that possible? We have 2 SSID which our clients can connect to (one which connects to a DHCP we control, the other to a different DHCP we don't - each with their own WINS).

We do a lot of mapping via DFS so that's why we need our wins servers.

Help?
