netbios

Currently we have a freshly setup Windows Server 2008 server acting as DNS and AD,Print and File server.

I setup VPN and routing services and was able to successfully connect through VPN however I can't resolve any host using NETBios names. Only IP addresses. Sounds like I need to add a role for WINS but since this is a LIVE environment I'm a little hesitant about adding and removing additions to the box.

What would I need to do to resolve this issue?
