Parameters for Push Partners

A push partner, listed under the \Partners\Pull key, is one from which a WINS server pulls replicas and from which it can expect update notification messages. The following parameter appears under the IP address for a specific push partner. You can set this parameter only by changing the value in the Registry:

• MemberPrec

  Data type = REG_DWORD Range = 0 or 1 Default = None

  Specifies the order of precedence for this WINS partner, with 0 indicating low precedence and 1 indicating high precedence. Notice that dynamically registered names are always high precedence. When a 1C name is pulled from this WINS partner, the addresses contained in it are given this precedence level. The value can be 0 (low) or 1 (high). Set this value to 1 if this WINS server is serving a geographic location that is nearby.

The following parameters appear under this subkey and can be set in the WINS Server Configuration dialog box:

..\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wins\Partners\Pull

• InitTimeReplication

• CommRetryCount

The following parameters appear under this subkey and can be set using the Preferences dialog box:

..\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wins\Partners \Pull\<IP Address>

• SpTime (Start Time for pull partner default configuration)

• TimeInterval (Replication Interval)

For SpTime, WINS replicates at the set time if it is in the future for that day. After that, it replicates every number of seconds specified by TimeInterval. If SpTime is in the past for that day, WINS replicates every number of seconds specified by TimeInterval, starting from the current time (if InitTimeReplication is set to 1).
