Notes

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

  • This operation queues replication requests for triggering replication with any of its push and pull partner servers. For this operation to have any affect, replication partners must already be added at this server.

  • Using Event Viewer, you can monitor the system event log at this server for more information about the status of when actual replication is completed between this server and its partner servers.

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.
