1.5 Prerequisites/Preconditions

This protocol is implemented over DCOM and RPC, and, as a result, has the prerequisites specified in [MS-DCOM] and [MS-RPCE] as being common to DCOM and RPC interfaces.

The Disk Management Remote Protocol assumes that a client has obtained the name of a server that supports this protocol suite before the protocol is invoked. The protocol also assumes that the client has sufficient security privileges to configure disks and volumes on the server.
