If you reboot all the systems after pointing them to the new WINS server, or after you replace the old one if the new one will have the old IP Address, it should be as soon as the machines boot. They will update the WINS server at that time.

Does anyone have *real-life* data/experiences of such a migration ? Any tipps or hints ? Is there a way/tool to convert the (Windows) Wins-DB into the wins.dat format ?
