Using a Graphical User Interface
1.
Open the WINS MMC snap-in.
2.
Right-click the Replication Partners subnode in the left pane, and select Properties.
3.
Select the Pull Replication tab.
4.
Specify the replication start time (in hours, minutes, and seconds).
5.
Specify the replication interval (in days, hours, and minutes).
6.
Specify the number of retries on replication failure.
7.
Select the check box to start pull replication at service startup, if desired.
8.
Select the check box to use persistent connections for pull replication partners, if desired.
9.
Click OK to save changes.
Using a Command-Line Interface
You can set the properties on a global scale for pull replication using the following command:
> netsh wins server set pullparam [[State=]{0 | 1}] [[Strtup=]{0 | 1}]
[[Start=]
Value
] [[Interval=]
Value
] [[Retry=]
Value
]
Here is a description of the command-line options:
State
: Required parameter that specifies whether you want to use persistent connections
for replication. A value of
0
will disable persistent connections; a value of
1
will enable them.
Strtup
: Optional parameter that specifies whether you want pull replication to occur at
startup. A value of
0
indicates no replication at startup; a value of
1
will force WINS repli-
cation at startup. The default state is no replication at startup.
Start
: Optional parameter that specifies the time period, in seconds, before which pull
replication will occur.
Interval
: Optional parameter that specifies the replication interval, in seconds.
Retry
: Optional parameter that specifies the number of times to reattempt replication in
the event of failure.
For example, use this command to configure the pull parameters for the WINS server such
that pull replication will use persistent connections, occur at startup, send the pull trigger in 60
seconds, and occur every hour, with three attempts at replication:
> netsh wins server set pullparam state=1 strtup=1 start=60 interval=3600 retry=3
