Name Registration

Name registration is the process by which the WINS server obtains information from WINS clients. Name registration occurs when a WINS client computer starts. The name registration process enables the WINS database to be maintained dynamically, rather than statically.

When a WINS client starts up, it sends a name registration to its configured WINS server. This registration provides the computer name and IP address of the WINS client to the WINS server. If the WINS server is running, and no other client has the same name registered, the server returns a successful registration message to the client. This message contains the name registration’s time to live.

Each computer must have a unique name within the network. Without unique names, network communication would be next to impossible. After WINS clients send name registration requests to the WINS server, the server ensures that the name registration is unique—no other computer may have the same name. The following section looks at how the WINS server handles an attempt to register an existing name.

At name registration, the WINS server detects a client’s attempt to register a duplicate name—that is, a NetBIOS name already in use. If the name is already in use, the following occurs:

1.	The server challenges the computer already holding the name registration to ensure that it is still active. If the computer does not answer the challenge, the registration proceeds.
2.	If the original host answers the challenge, the request receives a negative acknowledgment, and an error is registered in the System Event Log. The computer attempting to claim an existing name cannot communicate using NetBIOS on that adapter.
