To block replication of records owned by a specified server

  1. Open WINS.

  2. In the console tree, click Replication Partners.

    Where?

    • WINS/applicable WINS server/Replication Partners

  3. On the Action menu, click Properties.

  4. On the Advanced tab, click Block records for these owners, and then click Add.

  5. In Add Server, type the NetBIOS name or IP address of the owner (a WINS server) from which you want to block records from being replicated to this server.

Notes

  • To open WINS, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click WINS.

  • Once a server has been added to the list of blocked partners, any records owned by the listed servers are not entered into the local database during subsequent replication cycles with other partner servers.

  • This feature was previously implemented as a registry-only configuration in Windows NT Server, using the PersonaNonGrata registry parameter.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
