1.4 Relationship to Other Protocols

  • Article

Group Policy: Encrypting File System Extension is invoked as an extension of the Group Policy: Core Protocol. Group Policy: Encrypting File System Extension is only initiated as part of the Group Policy: Core Protocol. The invocation of this (and of all Group Policy protocol extensions) is specified in [MS-GPOL] section 3.  Group Policy: Encrypting File System Extension explicitly depends on all the protocols upon which the Group Policy: Core Protocol depends.

Group Policy: Encrypting File System Extension also depends on Group Policy: Registry Extension Encoding specified in [MS-GPREG] to retrieve settings from a GPO and to populate settings in the client registry. Group Policy: Encrypting File System Extension uses file access protocols described in [MS-FASOD] as its underlying transport.

Group Policy: Encrypting File System Extension configures settings that are used by the EFSR. These settings are defined in [MS-EFSR] section 3.1.1.1.
