And today's poser is ....

Q28. You are the administrator for your company's Windows 2000 network. You have three WINS servers deployed in your network and they are setup as Push/Pull replication partners.

Recently you have noticed several invalid entries in the WINS databases so you decide to force the scavenging of the databases. What should you do?

A. At a command prompt type winschk t sc and enter the IP address of the WINS server to scavenge. Continue to type sc and each WINS serv address. Type ex to exit.

B. At a command prompt type winschk t sdb and enter the IP address of the WINS server to scavenge. Continue to type sdb and each WINS serv address. Type ex to exit.

C. At a command prompt type winscl t sc and enter the IP address of the WINS server to scavenge. Continue to type sc and each WINS server's IP address. Type ex to exit.

D. At a command prompt type winscl t sdb and enter the IP address of the WINS server to scavenge. Continue to type sdb and each WINS server's IP address. Type [b]ex to exit.

Good Luck .... see you tomorrow for the answer!!

Can I choose None of the above??

I know you didn't include this, but I really can't see how any of these can be correct. I know of one way that you can initiate the scavenging of the databases and it's using netsh (NetShell) which is a scripting tool. I've got a great link to using netsh, but I won't post it until I see the answer to this as it's bugging the hell out of me!

And the answer is ....

Correct Answers: C

In this scenario you want to force the scavenging of the WINS database. The command line tool winscl.exe help to manage WINS. It can monitor WINS activities and examine WINS databases. It can also send commands to WINS to initiate an activity. Unlike WINS Manager, however, winscl cannot configure a WINS server.

This utility is a potentially high-overhead operation and a bandwidth hog. It is best done when network activity is low.

The proper command to use to force scavenging is winscl t sc. You will be prompted for the IP address of the WINS server you want to administer. Once the command completes, you will be prompted to enter the next command. Continue using the sc command until all WINS servers are handled. The ex command then exits the utility.

Winschk.exe checks name and version-number inconsistencies that may appear in WINS databases, monitors replication activity, and verifies the replication topology in an enterprise network. With winschk, you can remotely check and resolve WINS database replication issues. You can isolate some problems that lead to database inconsistencies with a tool that can be run in a central location. You would not use this tool in this case.

Is netsh (NetShell) covered in the 70-216 exam?
