MORE INFORMATION

Renewal Interval

This option specifies how often a client reregisters its name. The renewal times are as follows:

   Default:   5 hours (Windows NT version 3.5)
             96 hours (Windows NT version 3.51)
            144 hours (Windows NT version 4.0)
   Maximum: 999 hours (Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0)
   Minimum:  40 minutes (Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0)
				

Extinction Interval

This option specifies the time interval between when an entry is marked as released and when it is marked as extinct. The default value is dependant on the renewal interval and, if the WINS server has replication partners, on the maximum replication time interval. The extinction interval times are as follows:

   Default: <Dependant on renewal interval>
   Maximum: 999 hours (Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0)
   Minimum:  40 minutes (Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51)
              1 hour (Windows NT version 4.0)
				

Extinction Timeout

This option specifies the interval between when an entry is marked extinct and when the entry is finally scavenged from the database. The default value is dependant on the renewal interval and, if the WINS server has replication partners, on the maximum replication time interval. The Extinction Timeout times are as follows:

   Default: <Dependant on renewal interval>
   Maximum: 999 hours (Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0)
   Minimum:  24 hours (Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0)
				

Verify Interval

This option specifies the interval after which the WINS server must verify that old names that it does not own are still active. The default is dependant on the extinction interval. The verify interval times are as follows:

   Default: <Dependant on extinction interval>
   Maximum: 9999 hours (Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0)
   Minimum:   24 days (Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0)
