Describe the differences between WINS push and pull replications. Microsoft
WINS Server Push and Pull Partners
A given network should have one or more WINS servers that WINS clients can
contact to resolve a computer name to an IP address. It is desirable to have
multiple WINS servers installed on an intranet for the following reasons:
To distribute the NetBIOS computer name query and registration processing
load
To provide WINS database redundancy, backup, and disaster recovery
Microsoft WINS servers communicate with other Microsoft WINS servers to fully
replicate their databases with each other. This ensures that a name
registered with one WINS server is replicated to all other Microsoft WINS
servers within the intranet, providing a replicated and enterprise-wide
database. When multiple WINS servers are used, each WINS server is configured
as a pull or push partner of at least one other WINS server.
