Using the Cell Directory Service (CDS)

If you have CDS, you can use it instead of Microsoft Locator. Change the registry entries as shown:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Software
        Microsoft
            Rpc
                Name Service
                    NetworkAddress
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Software
        Microsoft
            Rpc
                Name Service
                    Endpoint

Changing these entries will point to a gateway computer that is running the NSID. This will be used as the master locator. In the event of a crash, there will be no search for a replacement.
