WINS

[vallan]

Hi All

Please how do I go about troubleshooting my WINs function apasrt from the nbtstat.

We seem to be having a problem with one of our WINS Server but i would like to know of a troubleshooting set just like the nslookup for DNS. How do I know whcih one of my WINS is misbehaving. How can I test for WINS

Thanks

You could use a packet sniffer to watch traffic, but than can be a little overwhelming on a large network. Most sniffers, though, will let you filter the results to better manage the info you're seeing. Otherwise, you could disable wins servers one at a time to see which one clears up your problem.

WINSCL utility. Also just use GUI or MMC and query for specific records of interest.

Depends what the problem is you're having (no resolution, incorrect resolution, replication not working etc), you could read this KB article as a start:
