Troubleshooting Server locator Point Active Directory Publishing

 

When you extend the Active Directory (AD) schema for SMS 2003 your server locator point (SLP) is published in AD. If you do not extend the schema the server locator point will not be published in AD. If this is the case you must manually add it in Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) using Netsh (Or WinScl) from the command prompt on a Windows 2000 or greater server.

 

Follow the steps below to add your server locator point entry to the WINS database:

 

  • From the command prompt type “Netsh.exe” and press Enter.

 

  • Next type “Wins” and press Enter again

 

  • Next Type “Server” and press Enter. For a remote WINS server you must enter the server name as \\Server_Name or enter the WINS servers IP address.

 

  • Next enter the following:

 

  • Add name Name=SMS_SLP endchar=1A rectype=0 ip={static IP of your SLP}

 

 Next you should verify that the changes have been added successfully.

 

  • From the command prompt type “Netsh.exe” and press Enter.

  • Next type “Wins” and press Enter again

  • Next Type “Server” and press Enter. For a remote WINS server you must enter the server name as \\Server_Name or enter the WINS servers IP address.

 

  • Next enter the following:

 

  • Show Name name=SMS_SLP endchar=1A
