JSI Tip 6129. How do I migrate a WINS database from Windows NT 4.0 Server to Windows 2000 Server?

Dec. 23, 2002 Jerold Schulman | Windows IT Pro

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 300473 contains the following summary:

This step-by-step article describes how to install and configure Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) in Windows 2000 Server and how to migrate a WINS database from Windows NT 4.0 Server to Windows 2000 Server. By doing so, the Windows 2000 Server-based computer assumes the role of the WINS server and maintains the WINS database that Windows NT Server 4.0 previously held.

You can install WINS on either a member server or a domain controller. Microsoft highly recommends that the server has a single network card and is configured with a static IP address.

Testing with Visual Studio 2012

The importance of testing is undeniable in the overall application lifecycle. We have all been in projects where testing is inadequate. The result is significant effort and cost to fix bugs that are introduced into production; not to mention the cost of a damaged reputation. Many times, institutions do not invest enough to comprehensively test an application at all levels. It is either seen as too costly or too time consuming.
