| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 1000 - total number of records | 30,000 |
Specifies the maximum number of records replicated in each consistency check cycle.
WINS performs consistency checks on the records of one owner WINS server at a time. (The owner WINS server is the WINS server from which the record was replicated.) After checking an owner WINS server, the local WINS server checks the value of this entry, and if the number of records meets or exceeds this value, the WINS server stops checking records.
To enable periodic automated consistency checking, use the WINS console. In WINS server properties, click the Database Verification tab, click the Verify database consistency check box, and use the options to configure consistency checking.
Caution
Consistency checking uses a significant amount of network resources and can consume substantial processor time on WINS servers.
