15.3 Verifying Duplicate Workstation Names Prior to WINS Configuration

If workstations with duplicate names exist in a domain prior to WINS configuration, you can use the workstation check script /opt/novell/xad/share/dcinit/checkdupws.pl to identify workstations with duplicate names and take appropriate action.

  1. Run the following command:

    checkdupws.pl --history 
    
  2. Ensure that you have unique workstation names.

  3. Run the following command:

    checkdupws.pl --clear-cache 
    

    This will clear the duplicate workstation name cache.
