SUMMARYDuring normal operation, the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) service may generate many event ID 4224 messages in the system log. The exact error is shown below.
Event ID: 4224 Source: WINS Description: WINS encountered a JET error. This may or may not be a serious error. WINS will try to recover from it. If you continue to see a large number of these errors consistently over time (a span of few hours), you may want to restore the database from a backup. The error number is in the second DWORD of the data section below. MORE INFORMATIONNote that error 4224 is very generic, and can be logged by WINS for various problems related to your WINS database. In order to isolate a specific issue you will need to check the hex information in the event message. For example, if your hex information was as follows:
0000067F FFFFFC06Perform the following steps to extract and analyze the WINS error code:
If you are experiencing many of these error messages, and if these error messages still occur on the WINS server (even after removing and reinstalling the database) it is a good indication that this is caused by hardware failure. If you check the application log, you may see some errors generated by the JET in the application log. You may also see SCSI timeout events in the system log. To resolve this issue, run hardware diagnostics and contact the hardware vendor for more specific troubleshooting information.
