SYMPTOMS

When you view the WINS database with the WINS Administration utility, you may
see a large number for the Highest ID that is not completely visible on the
screen. Although this does not appear to be causing problems, it makes WINS
troubleshooting very difficult.

To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Technical Support to obtain the
following fix, or wait for the next Windows NT service pack.

Windows NT 4.0
--------------

This fix should have the following time stamp:

  10/29/97  05:00p               406,800 Winsadmin.exe  (Alpha)
