Exercise 9.4: Adding Static Entries to a WINS Database

In this exercise, you add static entries manually to the WINS database through WINS Manager. Figure 9.7 shows the static mappings after exercises 4 and 5 have been completed.

Prerequisites:	You have installed WINS on a Windows NT 4.0 Server.
1.	Choose Start, Programs, Administrative Tools.
2.	From the Administrative Tools menu, choose WINS Manager.
3.	From the Mappings menu in WINS Manager, choose Static Mappings.
4.	Choose Add Mappings.
5.	In the computer box, type ABDCE.
6.	In the IP Address box, type 131.107.2.25.
7.	In the Type box, select Unique.
8.	Choose Add to save the entry.
9.	Add an entry for a computer named FGHIJ with an IP address of 133.107.4.53 and Type Group.
10.	Add an entry for a computer named KLMNO with an IP address of 136.107.3.34 and Type Domain Name. Note with the Domain Name mappings you must also move the IP address down with the arrow before you can save it. This is because you can have multiple addresses (for multiple domain controllers) associated with a domain name.
11.	Close the Add Static Mappings dialog. Note the mappings you have added in the Static Mappings dialog.
12.	Try editing each of the entries. Note the type of each entry differs. Note also the Edit Static Mapping dialog for the domain mapping differs from the dialogs for the unique and group types.
13.	Close the Static Mappings dialog box after exploring the Edit Static Mapping dialogs.
14.	In the WINS Manager window, choose Show Database from the Mappings menu.
15.	Scroll down the mappings database and note the static entries you added. The static mappings are marked with a check in the S column.
16.	Sort the database by expiration date. Scroll to the bottom of the database and note the static mappings are there with a time stamp that won’t let these entries expire.

Close the Show Database window.
