i spent about an HOUR updating static mappings on the primary wins server sing the wins tool on m PC... then when im done i check on the server itself logged in locally, and NONE of the changes i made are appearing!!! i mean fooking come on, WHERE THE FUCK DID MY CHANGES GO, BOTTOMLESS PIT?!!?!?!?!?! so you FINALLY get rins working, then then you find out some complete fucking spanner has slapped an LMHOSTS.SAM file on another primary domain controller.... whoops the fucking trust has dissapeared

COCKS

always helps when sme twat locks down their server not to trust enterprise administrators, so you've got to literally HACK into the server to sort the thing out... self important northern wankers who think none of us down south can be trusted with access to the DCs
note to self... never ever ever again move NT4 domain controllers to anotehr site and change their IP addresses

Why bother with static mappings no bloody need, just drop the database if changing the ip and reboot all servers/workstations on network and let it rediscover dynamically
Then redo the partner mappings and all done
Wins is a pain in the arse but its piss easy to do
