WINS Hub and Spoke Config

Hello,

I've implemented a hub and spoke WINS environment based on Windows 2003 and
I'm using the default replication settings. I have two spoke servers that
replicate with the WINS hub.
The hub has both spoke servers listed as push/pull partners.
Each spoke has the hub listed as a push/pull partner.

On the hub WINS server, I'm getting the following error during every
replication cycle:

Event ID: 4227
Description:
The Push Thread was requested for a range of records but could not find any
records in the range. Make sure that the replication time intervals are set
properly. If the tombstone interval and timeout intervals are not correct
(that is, much less than the replication interval), the above condition is
possible. This is because the records might get changed into tombstones and
then deleted before the remote WINS can pull them. Similarly, if the refresh
interval is set to be much less than the replication interval then the
records could get released before a WINS can pull them (a released record is
not sent). Make sure that the replication time intervals are set properly.

The spoke servers do not have the error listed above. Do I need to have the
spoke servers listed as push/pull partners under the hub server?
Many thanks,

Z

Did you change the default settings in WINS properties for the hub's
records? (That's what it seems like is happening).
