2-17. Initiating Push/Pull Replication
Problem
You want to start a push/pull replication cycle between two partners.
Solution
Using a Graphical User Interface
There are two ways to initiate push/pull replication through the standard WINS console:
1.
Open the WINS MMC snap-in.
2.
Either right-click a server object in the left pane, or right-click a server object in the Rep-
lication Partners subnode of the server object, and then select Start Push Replication or
Start Pull Replication, whichever is appropriate.
3.
Enter the name or the IP address of the server with which you want to initiate replication.
4.
Specify whether you want to initiate replication for that partner only, or whether you
want to propagate replication to all partners.
5.
Click OK to save the changes.
Using a Command-Line Interface
There are multiple commands that can be used to initiate push/pull replication through the
command-line interface.
To initiate push/pull replication for the current server with all partners, use this command:
> netsh wins server init replicate
To initiate pull replication from a specified WINS server to the current server, use this
command:
> netsh wins server init pull [Server=]{
PullServerName | IPAddress
}
Server
is a required parameter that specifies either the server's IP address or the UNC of
the server (
\\
ServerName
).
For example, use this command to send a pull-replication trigger to the partner at
10.0.0.3
:
> netsh wins server init pull server=10.0.0.3
To initiate push replication from the current server to a specified WINS server, use this
command:
> netsh wins server init push [Server=]{
\\PushServerName | IPAddress
}
[[PropReq=]{0 | 1}]
PropReq
is an optional parameter that specifies whether you want to push propagation
only to the specified partner or to all partners. A value of
0
will push only to the specified partner; a
value of
1
will push to all partners. The default method is to push only to the specified partner.
