Hello ThorstenK,
The english version:
. Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
. Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
. Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
. Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition
. Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition (32-bit x86)
. Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition (32-bit x86)
. Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit x86)
. Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
Here is your part
Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003
To delete and re-create your WINS database, follow these steps: 1. Click
Start, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Administrative Tools, double-click the Services icon, click
Windows Internet Name Service, and on the tool bar, click the Stop icon.
3. Create a temporary folder (for example, WINS_Old). Move the current contents
of the WINS folder to the temporary folder.
WINS is located at: %SystemRoot%\System32\WINS\
4. Restart WINS.
When WINS is started, new WINS database files will be created.
Best regards
Meinolf Weber
