Caution

  • This setting affects WINS back up and restore operations. If you change the path used here, be sure to run WINS backup again to archive the database with the updated path information. Otherwise, WINS cannot restore previously archived copies of the database where another path was specified, for either the WINS database path or the WINS database backup path.

Notes

  • To open WINS, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click WINS.

  • This procedure describes how to set the path used by WINS to store the database on the applicable server. It does not specify the path that WINS uses when backing up the database. For more information, see Related Topics.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
