WINS Does Not Back Up Database During Shutdown

A Windows 2000-based Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server does not back up the WINS database during server shutdown, even if the Back up database during server shutdown option is enabled.

As a workaround, stop WINS manually before shutting down the computer by using one of the following methods:

• At a command prompt, type net stop wins.
• Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, click Services, right-click Windows Internet Naming Service, and then click Stop.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
