WINS is as obsolete as NT4. Active Directory relies on Dynamic-DNS,
especially for clients on a different subnet than the resources they're
trying to reach.
Bind works swimmingly with AD. You need to allow the zone to update via
IP or subnet. At a minimum you need to include the domain controllers
and your DHCP server, if you want it doing the registration. If you
want to allow all clients to self-register, then you need to allow the
subnets the clients are on.
