Exchange 2003 still requires WINS.

 From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837391:

Microsoft recommends that Exchange organizations use Windows Internet 
Name Service (WINS) and DNS for name resolution. Installations of 
Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2000 in large and subnetted organizations 
without WINS have not been fully tested. In large organizations, NetBIOS 
name resolution through broadcasts may not function correctly. Some 
Exchange functionality may also be affected.

(The article then goes into what's affected, trivial stuff like setup on 
clusters, ExMerge, changing passwords through OWA and running ESM.)


I'm not sure about Exchange 2007.
