SUMMARY
=======
How a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server entry responds when a conflict
occurs varies depending on three different instances:
- State of the entries
- Ownership of the entries
- Addresses of the entries
MORE INFORMATION
================
Conflict Between 2 Replicas
---------------------------
- If Replica1 and Replica2 are Tombstoned (indicated by a cross in the status
field), Replica1 is replaced.
- If Replica1 is Tombstoned and Replica2 is active, Replica1 is replaced.
- If Replica1 is Active and Replica2 is Tombstoned, Replica1 will be kept if:
- Replica1 and Replica2 come from different WINS servers.
- If they have the same owner, Replica2 will be kept.
- If Replica1 and Replica2 are active, Replica2 will be kept.
Conflict Between Owned Entry and
Replica with Same or Different IP Address
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If Address1 is Tombstoned or released and Replica1 is Tombstoned, Address1 is
replaced.
- If Address1 is Tombstoned or released and Replica1 is active, Address1 is
replaced.
- If Address1 is active and Replica1 is Tombstoned, Address1 is kept.
- If Address1 and Replica1 are active, Replica1 will be kept. Address1 will be
told to release the name, and Replica1 will increment its version stamp to
cause repropogation.
If a Unique Name Conflicts with a Group Name
--------------------------------------------
The Group entry is kept.
If There Is a Conflict Between Two Internet Group Names
-------------------------------------------------------
- If Group1 is Tombstoned or released and Group2 is Tombstoned, Group1 is
replaced.
- If Group1 is Tombstoned or released and Group2 is active, Group1 is replaced.
- If Group1 is active and Group2 is Tombstoned, Group1 is kept.
- If Group1 and Group2 are active, A superset of both groups is maintained.
If a Multihomed Record Conflicts
--------------------------------
- If a multihomed replica clashes with a tombstoned or released database entry,
the entry in the database is replaced with the replica.
- If a tombstoned multihomed replica conflicts with an active entry with the
same owner, the entry is replaced. However, if the active entry is owned by a
different owner, then it is not replaced.
- If an active multihomed entry conflicts with an active unique/multihomed
replica in the same database, it is replaced. If the owner is different, it
is not replaced.
