Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

WINS servers typically have a mechanism to remove stale name records to prevent the database from becoming cluttered. The length of time a name record remains in the WINS database depends on the configured WINS scavenging interval. If Tuyet's computer does not refresh its name record before the scavenging interval expires, the name record will be deleted from the WINS server. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A and B are incorrect because the statement does not provide any information to substantiate them. Option D is also incorrect because the scenario does not mention anything related to the WINS server shutting down.
