SYMPTOMS
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) records may not replicate between WINS servers that are running Windows Server 2003. Therefore, applications that use WINS for name resolution may not work correctly.

When this problem occurs, the following events are logged in the System log on one or more of the WINS servers:

Event 4102 Event Type: Error

Event ID: 4102

Date: 4/18/2006

Time: 11:20:02 AM

Event Source: Wins

Event Category: None

Event ID: 4243
