Renewing Wins Client Registrations with NBTSTAT -RR (188598)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 SP4
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 SP4
This article was previously published under Q188598 SUMMARY
It is sometimes necessary that clients or servers on your network need to
reregister their NetBIOS names with a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)
server. Previously, this required restarting the client so that all names
associated with that client would be released and reregistered during the
startup process.
In Service Pack 4 for Windows NT, a new feature has been added to the
Windows NT version of the utility Nbtstat.exe. The -RR parameter will allow
Windows NT clients to release their NetBIOS names and reregister them with
their WINS server.
