SYMPTOMS
========

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) servers log the following event in the
System Log in Event Viewer:

  Event ID: 4294
  Source: WINS
  The client does not have the permissions required to execute the
  function.

WINS replication still occurs.

CAUSE
=====

The user logged on to the console of the WINS server does not have sufficient
permissions to perform a replication.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When WINS replication is triggered (manually or automatically), Event 4294 will
be logged in the system log, depending on the permissions of the user currently
logged on to the WINS server.
