SYMPTOMS
If a WINS extinct (also called tombstone) record is replicated, the
record's Expiration Date is set incorrectly on the replication pull
partner.
CAUSE
WINS is making no distinction between active and tombstone replicas and is
adding verify interval (which could be up to 576 hours) to the current time
for tombstones, instead of Extinction Timeout.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. A
fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested
and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not
recommend implementing this fix at this time.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version
4.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Windows NT version 4.0. For information on obtaining the Service
Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without
