Winsdmp.exe Inefficiently Dumps WINS Databases with Large ID (183699)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q183699 SYMPTOMS
Winsdmp.exe performance is not acceptable when trying to dump the WINS
database of a WINS server with large version ID. An example of a large
version ID would look like the following:
Converting the value to decimal would be:
Winsdmp.exe would start counting in intervals of hexadecimal 0x7cf or 1999
decimal. Even when dumping at these intervals, it would take years to reach
the high version ID listed above.
CAUSE
Winsdmp.exe was designed to start from record 0 and serially count up until
the highest version ID was reached.
