Hi Everyone,
I hope that this question hasn't already been asked and answered. I haven't
been able to find anything, so here goes...
We run a Windows 2000 network with mainly Windows 2000 workstations. DHCP,
DNS, and Secondary WINS are provided by SERVER1. Primary WINS and Secondary
DNS are provided by SERVER2.
We are experiencing a problem where Windows XP Professional workstations
list the WINS servers in the wrong order after boot. Basically when the
machine gets it's DHCP information, it lists SERVER1 as Primary WINS server
and SERVER2 as secondary. In the WINS database some entries for the PC are
in SERVER1's database, and some are in the database of SERVER2. After about
30 minutes the workstation sorts itself out an shows that SERVER2 is the
Primary WINS server, and the WINS database shows all records registered on
SERVER2.
We are having some name resolution problems with these XP machines during
this period of time. If anyone has seen this before and/or knows of a
resolution I would really appreciate it.
If at all possible please CC replies to email as well.
Thank you,
Robert
