We just recently upgraded our Domain to W2K3. We are
currently running in nt4emulation mode. We have a 20 site
WAN(T-1 Links) with a NT4 BDC at each site. We have
upgraded 5 sites to
W2K3 DCs(with plans to upgrade all sites). I am having a
WINS configuration issue. The old NT4 PDC(currently a
BDC) was and still is a WINS server replicating as a
push\pull partner with are remote NT4 WINS BDCs. The new
master W2K3 DC is also a WINS server with the new W2K3
DCs at the remote sites being push/pull partners. My
question is how should I configure WINS in a mixed
evironment like this? Will a W2K3 WINS server replicate
to a NT4 WINS server? I have configured the NT4 WINS
server to replicate to the W2K3 WINS server. But it
doesn't replicate records. We are experiencing WINS
problems and performance issues.

Keith,

I have a configuration where WINS between NT 4.0 and Windows 2003 are
running without a problem. Have you rebuilt or had to recover any WINS
databases?

A side note do you have the NT4Emulator key on the first upgraded PDC, with
the NeutralizeNT4Emulator and NT4Emulator key on any of the machines added
as fresh Windows 2003 Domain Controllers installs?

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your posting here.

Windows 2003 WINS server can replicate with Windows NT WINS server. What is
the error message you got?

Please make sure that the WINS Servers clock times are in sync, and do not
modify the Extinction Timeout to less than the parameters defined for
push/pull replication.

Best regards,
