SYMPTOMS
The Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) replication between partners is
intermittent and unpredictable.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the Replication Options are not configured correctly
for each of the replication partners. In the Push Partner Properties dialog
box, if Update Count is blank it defaults to 20 (minimum). However, if the
Replication Interval in the Pull Partner Properties is left blank, it
defaults to 0 (zero). Therefore, the WINS server does not pull records from
the WINS partner at a regular interval. Records will be pulled only once
during start up.
If the Start Time is left blank records will be pulled beginning at startup
and then continue at the configured Replication Interval.
RESOLUTION
Make sure you enter a specific value for the Replication Interval
when you configure WINS Replication Partners.
