If you have Windows ME/9x and below systems, use WINS for a NETBIOS name resolution server as DNS does not resolve up NETBIOS.

DNS Without WINS on Server 2003?

That's actually fairly common. DNS is required for Active Directory domain controllers in Server 2003, but WINS is only used for older NetBEUI clients. The use of NetBEUI is deprecated in most modern Windows networks, so a WINS server is rarely used.

What is the difference between tombstoning a WINS record and simply deleting it?

Simple deletion removes the records that are selected in the WINS console only from the local WINS server you are currently managing. If the WINS records deleted in this way exist in WINS data replicated to other WINS servers on your network, these additional records are not fully removed. Also, records that are simply deleted on only one server can reappear after replication between the WINS server where simple deletion was used and any of its replication partners. Tombstoning marks the selected records as tombstoned, that is, marked locally as extinct and immediately released from active use by the local WINS server. This method allows the tombstoned records to remain present in the server database for purposes of subsequent replication of these records to other servers. When the tombstoned records are replicated, the tombstone status is updated and applied by other WINS servers that store replicated copies of these records. Each replicating WINS server then updates and tombstones


What is wins and when do we use it?

Windows Internet Naming Service. It was used with a WINS server in older MS networks for name resolution. Newer MS Server OSs are tightly integrated with DNS and don't require WINS. WINS and DNS can only used for name resolution in a client/server network, such as a Windows domain. A workgroup (peer-to-peer) network uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP for name resolution


What is the score when a person wins a point after serving?

In tennis, the person who is serving always has their score said first. So if they are just starting their set and the server wins the score is 15-0. If the server wins again it moves to 30-0. On the next point it goes to 40-0 and this would be a set point. If the server wins a fourth point, he would win the set. In volleyball, the servers score is again said first. This time you just add one point to the score and if the server's team does not get a point, the serve will switch to the other team.


What is WINS and when do you use it?

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) provides a dynamic replicated database service that can register and resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses used on your network. The Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 family provides WINS, which enables the server computer to act as a NetBIOS name server and register and resolve names for WINS-enabled client computers on your network as described in the NetBIOS over TCP/IP standards.

Differences between WINS push and pull replications?

To replicate database entries between a pair of WINS servers, you must configure each WINS server as a pull partner, a push partner, or both with the other WINS server. * A push partner is a WINS server that sends a message to its pull partners, notifying them that it has new WINS database entries. When a WINS server's pull partner responds to the message with a replication request, the WINS server sends (pushes) copies of its new WINS database entries (also known as replicas) to the requesting pull partner. * A pull partner is a WINS server that pulls WINS database entries from its push partners by requesting any new WINS database entries that the push partners have. The pull partner requests the new WINS database entries that have a higher version number than the last entry the pull partner received during the most recent replication. regards Neokan
