Notes
To open WINS, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click WINS.
By default, the WINS console orders servers by name and uses only short (host-only) DNS names when displaying WINS servers that are added to the console. In addition, WINS does not validate its cache of WINS servers, which can prolong the length of time needed to load the WINS console when started.
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.
