JSI Tip 6129. How do I migrate a WINS database from Windows NT 4.0 Server to Windows 2000 Server?

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 300473 contains the following summary:

This step-by-step article describes how to install and configure Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) in Windows 2000 Server and how to migrate a WINS database from Windows NT 4.0 Server to Windows 2000 Server. By doing so, the Windows 2000 Server-based computer assumes the role of the WINS server and maintains the WINS database that Windows NT Server 4.0 previously held.

You can install WINS on either a member server or a domain controller. Microsoft highly recommends that the server has a single network card and is configured with a static IP address.
