EnableWINS method of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class
The EnableWINS WMI class static method enables Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) settings specific to TCP/IP, but independent of the network adapter.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.
Syntax
uint32 EnableWINS(
[in] boolean DNSEnabledForWINSResolution,
[in] boolean WINSEnableLMHostsLookup,
[in, optional] string WINSHostLookupFile,
[in, optional] string WINSScopeID
);
Parameters
-
DNSEnabledForWINSResolution [in]
-
If true, the Domain Name System (DNS) is enabled for name resolution over WINS resolution.
-
WINSEnableLMHostsLookup [in]
-
If true, local lookup files are used. Lookup files will contain mappings of IP addresses to host names.
-
WINSHostLookupFile [in, optional]
-
Lookup files that contain mappings of IP addresses to host names. If available, the files will be found in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\ .
-
WINSScopeID [in, optional]
-
Scope identifier value that will be appended to the end of the computer's NetBIOS name. Systems that use the same scope identifier can communicate with this computer.
