In-Depth Information
For example, use this command to send a push-replication trigger to the partner at
10.0.0.3
and to propagate the trigger to its partners:
> netsh wins server init push server=10.0.0.3 propreq=1
To initiate pull replication from a specified server to another specified server, use
this command:
> netsh wins server init pullrange [Owner=]
OwnerServerIP
[Server=]
PullServerIP
[MaxVer=]{High,Low} [MinVer=]{High,Low}
Here is a description of the command-line options:
Owner
: Required parameter that specifies the IP address of the owner-server whose records
you want to pull.
Server
: Required parameter that specifies the IP address of the server from which you are
pulling records.
MaxVer
: Required parameter that specifies the maximum high and low values of the records
that you want to pull. Separate the entries with a comma, and enclose them in braces.
MinVer
: Required parameter that specifies the minimum high and low values of the records
that you want to pull. Separate the entries with a comma, and enclose them in braces.
■
Note
Set both
MaxVer
and
MinVer
arrays to
{0,0}
to pull all records.
For example, use this command to send a pull trigger from the WINS server at
10.0.0.2
to
the one at
10.0.0.3
and to request all records owned by
10.0.0.3
:
> netsh wins server init pullrange owner=10.0.0.3 server=10.0.0.2
maxver={0,0} minver={0,0}
Using the Registry
You can instruct the WINS server to notify its pull partners when an address in the database
changes by creating or modifying the following Registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\...
...Wins\Partners\Push\
<IPAddress>
]
"RplOnAddressChg"=dword:1
Replace
<IPAddress>
with the IP address of the WINS server's pull partner.
How It Works
WINS replication is an automated process and will hopefully run without problems. However,
there may occasionally be a need to manually initiate the replication process. For example, if a
new server is brought online and you need all users on the network to have rapid access to it
