Hello, We will replace an NT server that has WINS with a
W2K box. Could I backup the mdb from NT and restore to a
new bulit W2k server? Is that a tool that help to smooth
the migration?
TIA, shiyo
 
Unless you have a bunch of static enties in WINS, don't bother. WINS will
rebuild its own database every quickly. All you'd have to do is recreate any
static entries in the new WINS.
 
Hello All,

Here is an article on how to do that.
