Managing WINS from the command line

The Netsh commands for WINS offer a fully equivalent command-line tool for administering WINS servers that can be used as an alternative to console-based management. This is useful in the following situations:

  • When managing WINS servers in wide area networks (WANs), commands can be used in interactive mode at the netsh command prompt to better manage over slow-speed network links.

  • When managing a large number of WINS servers, commands can be used in batch mode to script and automate recurring administrative tasks that need to be performed for all WINS servers.

For more information about how to use netsh commands provided for WINS, see Use WINS Command-line Tools.

Notes

  • For a comprehensive netsh WINS command reference (including syntax and parameters), see Netsh commands for WINS.

  • For an example of how to use netsh WINS commands in batch files and scripts, see Netsh WINS example.

  • The terms Persona Non Grata and Persona Grata refer to the Windows WINS server features Block records for these owners and Accept records only for these owners, respectively.
