SetWINSServer method of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class
The SetWINSServer WMI class method sets the primary and secondary Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) servers on this TCP/IP-bound network adapter. This method is applied independently of the network adapter.
This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.
