Can you have a Microsoft-based network without any WINS server on it?

Yes, you can. WINS was designed to speed up information flow about the Windows workstations in a network. It will work without it, and most networks do not utilize WINS servers anymore because it is based on an old protocol (NetBUI) which is no longer in common use.

Can you have a Microsoft-based network without any WINS server on it? What are the "considerations" regarding not using WINS?
What file can be replaced when a network has a wins serverwhat file can be replaced when a network has a wins server?
LMHOSTS
Is the wins server necessary for translation between ip addresses and network nodes?
No - WINS will translate between NetBios names.
What is wins and when do we use it?
Windows Internet Naming Service. It was used with a WINS server in older MS networks for name resolution. Newer MS Server OSs are tightly integrated with DNS and don't require WINS. WINS and DNS can only used for name resolution in a client/server network, such as a Windows domain. A workgroup (peer-to-peer) network uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP for name resolution
What is WINS and when do you use it?
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) provides a dynamic replicated database service that can register and resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses used on your network. The Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 family provides WINS, which enables the server computer to act as a NetBIOS name server and register and resolve names for WINS-enabled client computers on your network as described in the NetBIOS over TCP/IP standards.

What is difference between a WINS server and a DNS server?
WINS server works only at level of LAN and uses a list of IP addresses with corresponding names, it does not allow you to use domains. DNS is almost the same thing but it allows you to span the network in domains and work with them.

What is the potential benefit of using a DHCP server within a network?
The benefit would be to automatically assign network addresses to clients that need them to work on a local area network. Without DHCP you would have to assign each device an address, subnet mask, and default gateway, plus DNS and WINS server addresses, which can be time consuming and error prone. With DHCP, most of those problems disappear.
DNS Without WINS on Server 2003?
That's actually fairly common. DNS is required for Active Directory domain controllers in Server 2003, but WINS is only used for older NetBEUI clients. The use of NetBEUI is deprecated in most modern Windows networks, so a WINS server is rarely used.
What is the difference between tombstoning a WINS record and simply deleting it?
Simple deletion removes the records that are selected in the WINS console only from the local WINS server you are currently managing. If the WINS records deleted in this way exist in WINS data replicated to other WINS servers on your network, these additional records are not fully removed. Also, records that are simply deleted on only one server can reappear after replication between the WINS server where simple deletion was used and any of its replication partners. Tombstoning marks the selected records as tombstoned, that is, marked locally as extinct and immediately released from active use by the local WINS server. This method allows the tombstoned records to remain present in the server database for purposes of subsequent replication of these records to other servers. When the tombstoned records are replicated, the tombstone status is updated and applied by other WINS servers that store replicated copies of these records. Each replicating WINS server then updates and tombstones
