3.2.5.2 Sending a HostAnnouncement Frame
To advertise its presence on the network, the server MUST send a HostAnnouncement frame (as specified in section 2.2.1). The server MUST query the current services as specified in [MS-SRVS] section 3.1.6.11, and set the ServerType field of the HostAnnouncement frame to the value returned, which specifies the type of resources or services that it is advertising. The server MUST set the Comment field of the HostAnnouncement frame to Server.Comment. This request MUST be sent by issuing a mailslot write as specified in [MS-MAIL] section 3.1.4.1 with the following parameters.
