If you have removed a WINS servers, other WINS servers on your network still contain and still replicate the entries from the non-functioning WINS server. To remove these entries, edit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WINS\Partners
On the Edit menu, Add Value and entrer PersonaNonGrata as a type REG_MULTI_SZ and set the data value to the IP address of the non-existent WINS server. As this is a REG_MULTI_SZ data type, mulpiple entries made be made.
You must stop and start the WINS service for the entry to be enabled.
When a IP address is given PersonaNonGrata status, it can be deleted as an owner in WINS Manager (Mappings-Show Database), and its entries will not be replicated from other servers.
