How It Works
One of the first tasks that an administrator typically performs when reviewing WINS settings or
resolving issues is to display the WINS database. The database provides insight not only into
the systems that are or have been on a network, but also into potential replication problems.
For organizations with hundreds or thousands of entries, viewing all the records of the
database is not practical; for this scenario the administrator should use a filtered view.
Windows 2003 Server also allows you to export all records into a text file, which can then
be manipulated as needed. This command is available in the graphical user interface and is
accessed by right-clicking on the Active Registrations node and selecting Export List.

on the data export process.

Note
Access the help files from the WINS Management Console by selecting the top node of the console's
left pane, and then pressing
F1
for the help menu.
