Intermittent Replication Between WINS Servers (147356)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q147356

SYMPTOMS

The Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) replication between partners is intermittent and unpredictable.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the Replication Options are not configured correctly for each of the replication partners. In the Push Partner Properties dialog box, if Update Count is blank it defaults to 20 (minimum). However, if the Replication Interval in the Pull Partner Properties is left blank, it defaults to 0 (zero). Therefore, the WINS server does not pull records from the WINS partner at a regular interval. Records will be pulled only once during start up.

If the Start Time is left blank records will be pulled beginning at startup and then continue at the configured Replication Interval.

RESOLUTION

Make sure you enter a specific value for the Replication Interval when you configure WINS Replication Partners.
