What is a Winserver?

Today we'll talk a little about what the Wins-server is for. After reading this material, you will have an idea of its purpose. So, what is it used for?

Win server is necessary in order to match the IP addresses with the names of certain computers, which are also called NetBios, in a dynamic way. The abbreviation of the name of this server is as follows: "The service of Windows Internet names". Thanks to this service, you, as well as all other users have the opportunity to use not the address of the computer to access resources, but its name.

In order to implement the installation and configuration of the server, you will need some skills and skills of the system administrator, as well as a computer or laptop. First you have to make sure that some important conditions are met, and only after that go to the installation of the Vince server.

The most important thing is to properly configure your own OS. In a system like Windows Server, the most optimal settings are provided, but you still need to check if all services are correctly configured. This is done in order to ensure optimal performance, as well as safety.

You still need to decide how many servers you need to install and what their location will be. Also, do not forget that your device must have a static IP address. Without this condition, you will not be able to configure the Winserver.

You also need to make sure that all the disks you have are reformatted into the NTFS file system. If you use FAT32 for these purposes, you will completely sacrifice safety. After all, this type of file system does not support data compression, encryption, or setting permission to access files. When you configure the Winserver, do not forget that the Windows firewall is active. Install and activate the Security Configuration Wizard.

As soon as you fill all these conditions, run a special wizard that is responsible for setting up the server. To do this, go to the management program for this server. It is located in the "Administration" section, which is called through the "Start" and "Control Panel". I hope, as it is done, you know. When the wizard starts, select the command that adds or removes the role. Also, on the server role tab, select the Wins server option, and then click the "Next" button. After that, the installation will continue.

Then you should go to the tab "Summary of the selected parameters", in which you will need to find the necessary settings. Click "Next". After this, you must wait for the installation to complete. When this happens, a window will appear informing that this server is Wins. Perform a system update, and then enter the desired address in the database path option. This completes your setup.

That's basically all I wanted to tell you. I hope you got the necessary information on this issue. Now you have an idea of how this works.
