Lion Server: Does not register with WINS server
Lion Server may not properly register with a WINS Server.
If this situation occurs, use the following steps to allow the server to properly register with the WINS server.
On the server, open Terminal.
Execute this command:
sudo scutil
Execute the following command at the ">" prompt in the Terminal window to verify that RegisterWINSName is set to false (sample output appears in italics):
> show com.apple.smb <dictionary> { ... ... ... RegisterWINSName : FALSE ... ... WINSServerAddressList : <array> { ... } ... ... }
Execute the following four commands at the ">" prompt in the Terminal window to change the RegisterWINSName to true (sample output appears in italics):
> get com.apple.smb > d.add RegisterWINSName ? TRUE > set com.apple.smb > show com.apple.smb <dictionary> { ... ... ... RegisterWINSName : TRUE ... ... WINSServerAddressList : <array> { ... } ... ... }
Execute this command at the ">" prompt:
> quit
Finally, restart the netbiosd process for the change to take effect by using this command:
sudo killall netbiosd
