    • rpcinfo -p server_name

    b.Locate the port bindings for YPSERV and YPPASSWD.

    d.Restart Server for NIS. If the RPC service is not running, start the RPC service in the Services management console.

  2. Type the following command, and then press Enter: ypcat -h NISServer- d Domain Mapname. NISServer represents the name of the server on which you want to verify that the Server for NIS Service is available. Domain represents the domain name on which you want to verify that the Server for NIS service is available. Mapname represents the name or nickname of a specific NIS map that the server on which you want to verify Server for NIS availability is expected to update.

  4. The ypcat Windows command-line utility prints the values of all keys from the NIS database specified by Mapname, which can be a map name or a map nickname. If the ypcat utility returns a list of key values for the maps you specified, the Server for NIS service is available.
