Its been a long time since I've thought about WINS (thankfully) but in the "old days" this was somewhat expected behavior. If a client happened to contact its primary WINS server and it couldn't answer a request, for whatever reason, it would temporarily use the seconday as its primary. This is described here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;173525 and here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;247559

I apologize if it isn't. Two WINS server, both setup a replication partners with each other with push/pulls. >From Win2k, XP, and Win2k3 clients: 1. ipconfig /all 2. Primary WINS: 10.x.x.x Secondary WINS 192.x.x.x 3. nbtstat -RR 4. ipconfig /all 5. Primary WINS: 192.x.x.x Secondary WINS 10.x.x.x Essentially the Primary and Secondary WINS servers get switched after doing a nbtstat -RR. Is this to be expected? What am I missing? Has anyone else seen this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
