3.1.5 Message Processing Events and Sequencing Rules

Messages MUST be processed in the order of these subsections: 3.1.5.1 and/or 3.1.5.2 in any order, and 3.1.5.3 followed by 3.1.5.4 if applicable. The administrative plug-in executes the Policy Description Sequence for ADM-Based Administrative Templates and the Policy Description Sequence for ADMX-Based Administrative Templates. All administrative template settings created by the execution of the Policy Description Sequence for ADM-Based Administrative Templates and the Policy Description Sequence for ADMX-Based Administrative Templates are serialized to and deserialized from the registry.pol file. The sequencing of the Policy Description Sequence for ADM-Based Administrative Templates and the Policy Description Sequence for ADMX-Based Administrative Templates can therefore occur in any order. When an administrator loads any Registry Policy Setting, the Policy Administration Load Message Sequencing is executed by the administrative plug-in. When an administrator makes a change to any Registry Policy Setting, the Policy Administration Update Message Sequencing is executed by the administrative plug-in.
