WINS 1BH Import

The lmhosts file does contain the following entry:?
xxx.xxx.xxx.x "domainname \0x1B" #PRE

If so you have to be absolutely sure the \ is the sixteenth
character in the domain name for the 1b entry to be
populated.

Hello,

We are migrating our enterprise to Win 2K3 from NT. We
are forced to keep our WINS server for a variety of
reasons.

I have been testing WINS in our lab and found that it is
not creating [1Bh] records when importing records from an
LMHOST file. Importing the same file into a windows 2000
and NT WINS database does create the [1Bh] record, so the
formatting is correct (unless the formatting is different
for 2003).

We need the 1B records as we will be mainting several NT
trusts.

I have been unable to find anything on this. Is this an
issue with 2003? Any suggestions (getting rid of NT
and/or WINS is not an option)?

Thanks!

Yep. I am absolutely sure. I have counted it about a
dozen times between pulling my hair out.

Have you tried manually addinig the static mapping into the
WINS database?

I am not sure how to manually add a 1Bh record other than
to importing via LMHOST file.

It's not easy. They give you an option for the <1C> entry but not <1B>
.. You can do it using netsh. (Messy but it works).

Hi,

Why are you trying to statically add the domain 1Bh record instead of just
pointing the DCs to the Wins server and letting the PDC role holder register
the domain 1Bh record dynamically?

Hi,

We are trying to statically add the 1Bh records to
maintain the trusts we have with NT 4.0 domains (i.e.,
autonomous domains not under our control). we have run
into issues with these trusts when the 1Bh records were
not present.

Will someone post an example of using netsh to create a
1Bh record? I am looking at MS site on netsh in WINS and
I can find anything specific to 1Bh records.

Thanks
