6. Click OK on the pop-up window, which displays the following message:

   WINS can not come up because the existent database needs conversion to NT SUR format. WINS has initiated the conversion via a process (jetconv). Once the conversion is complete, WINS will get started automatically. Do not reboot or kill the jetconv process. The conversion may take anywhere from a few minutes to around an hour (depending on the size of the databases). Please terminate WINS now by clicking on OK. This is required for the database conversion to succeed.
   
   NOTE: THE WINS SERVICE WILL START AUTOMATICALLY AFTER THE CONVERSION IS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. CHECK THE APPLICATION LOG TO SEE THE STATUS OF THE CONVERSION FOR THE WINS DB.

7. Click OK on the next pop-up window, which displays the following message:
   Could not start the Windows Internet Name service on \\<server>. Error: 0001 Incorrect Function.
   where <server> is the name of your Windows NT 4.0 server.
