PPTP/VPN and WINS on same server

[mattpage]

I have read in these forums that having PPTP/VPN and WINS on the same server will cause problems.

Running SBS/Exchange 5.5 with everything on one server (WINS,DHCP,PPTP/VPN,Remote Access etc....)

Does anyone have a definitive answer on this, why would it cause problems and what problems does it cause ?

Thanks.

VPN server is a Virtual Multihomed Server

After enabling RRAS on a DC with WINS and DNS server, you may have some Master Browser or/and WINS issues. That reason is that VPN server is a Virtual Multihomed Server. The resolution is to disable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP on all interfaces including RRAS interfaces except the internal interface.
