Can Not Find the WINs Server

[Guest skymax_taf]

I have a Windows 2003 R2 server with WINS installed. Opening the WINS console, I get the message - "Can not find the WINs server". I have configured Wins to point to the server it is installed upon. The Wins service is operational and everything looks fine, except the red dot on the server and it stating it can not find the server. What am I overlooking? Thanks

I found the issue in needing to set the Remote Registry Service to Automatic.

That makes sense. Some consoles need remote registry service running

even if you are trying to manage the local machine.
