Siemens V4.0 manual Using Wins Manager

Implementing WINS Using WINS Manager

You can change the following configuration parameters using the Advanced option in the WINS Server Configuration dialog box.

Configuration option	Description
Logging Enabled	This option is ignored in Advanced Server WINS.
Log Detailed Events	Specifies whether the output to the event log is verbose.
	(This requires considerable computer resources and should be
	turned off if you are tuning for performance.). By default, this
	option is not checked.
Replicate Only With	Specifies that replication occurs only with configured WINS pull
Partners	or push partners. If this option is not checked, an administrator
	can ask a WINS server to pull or push from or to a non-listed
	WINS server partner. By default, this option is checked.
Backup On Termi-	Specifies that the database will be backed up automatically when
nation	WINS Manager is stopped except when the computer is stopped.
	By default, this option is not checked.
Migrate On/Off	Specifies that static unique and multihomed records in the
	database are treated as dynamic when they conflict with a new
	registration or replica. This means that if they are no longer valid,
	they will be overwritten by the new registration or replica. By
	default, this option is not checked.
	You should have this option checked only a limited period of time.
	The purpose of Migrate On is to ease the process of making a
	B-node an H-node (WINS client). If set, the static nature of
	unique/multihomed names is compromised by WINS in that
	these records are now treated as pseudo- static. Pseudo-static
	means that a dynamic name registration will be allowed to
	overwrite a unique/multihomed static entry if the static
	address(es) are different and prove to be wrong.
Starting Version Count	Specifies the highest version ID number for the database.
	Usually, you will not need to change this value unless the
	database becomes corrupted and needs to start fresh. In such a
	case, set this value to a number higher than appears as the
	version number counter for this WINS server on all the remote
	partners that earlier replicated the local WINS server’s records.
	WINS may adjust the value you specify to a higher one to ensure
	that the database records are replicated quickly to the WINS
	servers. This value can be seen in the View Database dialog box
	in WINS Manager.
