5873.0. "Changing WINS pointers on many desktops" by SANITY::DUNLOP () Thu Apr 03 1997 21:22
Hi,
We have a large number of Windows NT desktop systems for which we need
to repoint the WINS server entries. Naturally, I'm not relishing the
idea of visiting every desktop or even using the registry editor to
manually connect to each system to punch in the new values. I've seen
some notes that provide pointers to graphical registry search and
replace utilities, but these don't seem to support searching remote
registries; nor do they provide command line interfaces that might be
useful in developing automated scripts.
Does anybody have any ideas on how I might do this quickly and easily?
I have to think others have been faced with this same problem. I know
CCS has some sort of migration script that involves changing the WINS
servers, but I've been told it only runs on Windows 95.
Thanks,
John

| This is one advantage of using DHCP. One change to the server and you
are done. Oh, well... :-)
I do not know of a specific hack to change WINS. You might try the
registry command line tools in the Windows NT resource kit. You can
probably build a .BAT file to change the entry in the registry and have
each system execute it.
