SUMMARY
=======
This article explains how a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server returns
1C entries to clients.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When a query is made to a Windows NT WINS server for a domain controller (DC),
that query is made as a request for a group 1Ch entry. The WINS server then
replies with up to 25 IP addresses of domain controllers for the queried domain.
In the reply, addresses owned by the queried WINS Server are returned first,
sorted by registration date and time. The first entry in the list will be the
one locally owned that matches the 1B entry. These are followed by addresses for
the requested domain that are not owned by the queried server.
