To send a replication trigger to any specified WINS server

  1. Open WINS.

  2. In the console tree, click the applicable WINS server.

    Where?

    • WINS/applicable WINS server

  3. On the Action menu, click either Start Push Replication or Start Pull Replication.

  4. In Start Replication, for WINS server, type or browse for the specified WINS server with which you want to start replication, and then click OK.

  5. Confirm starting of either push or pull replication.

  6. If using pull replication, in Start Pull Replication, click Yes to confirm.

  7. If using push replication, in Start Push Replication, choose a push replication method, and then click OK:

    1. Click Start for this partner only to start push replication for the selected server only.

    2. Click Propagate to all partners to request that the selected server in turn propagate a push replication request to its configured partners.

Notes

  • To open WINS, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click WINS.

  • By default, WINS only enables replication between configured replication partners. To use this procedure, first configure the server to enable it to replicate with non-partners. For more information, see Related Topics.

  • When this procedure is completed, replication with the specified server might not start immediately. Actual replication depends on server activity and the priority of other requests queued at the server.

  • When a push replication request is started using this procedure, actual replication requires the specified WINS server to complete a subsequent pull replication. This occurs because WINS replication is essentially a pull operation. For more examples and information, see Related Topics.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
