PersonaNonGrata WINS Servers May Be Added as Replication Partners Without Warning

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

Also, when you click Replicate Now in the Replication Partners dialog box, you are not warned that the WINS replication partner list contains an invalid WINS server.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
