would like to if win2019 supports WINS services?

    Yes, Server 2019 does support WINS feature. Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a legacy computer name registration and resolution service that maps computer NetBIOS names to IP addresses. It's recommended that you deploy DNS and then decommission WINS.
