Exceptions, if any, are noted in this section. If an update version, service pack or Knowledge Base (KB) number appears with a product name, the behavior changed in that update. The new behavior also applies to subsequent updates unless otherwise specified. If a product edition appears with the product version, behavior is different in that product edition.

Unless otherwise specified, any statement of optional behavior in this specification that is prescribed using the terms "SHOULD" or "SHOULD NOT" implies product behavior in accordance with the SHOULD or SHOULD NOT prescription. Unless otherwise specified, the term "MAY" implies that the product does not follow the prescription.

<1> Section 3.1.4: Windows implementation uses the RPC protocol to retrieve the identity of the caller as described in section 3.3.3.4.3 of [MS-RPCE]. The server uses the underlying Windows security subsystem to determine the permissions for the caller. If the caller does not have the required permissions to execute a specific method, the method call fails with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (0x00000005).

<2> Section 3.1.4.1: Opnums reserved for local use apply to Windows as follows:

opnum

Description

0,5,6,10,11

Only used locally by Windows, never remotely.

1,3,4,9

Just returns ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. It is never used.

7,8

Just returns NERR_Success. It is never used.

<3> Section 3.1.4.1.1: Windows-based servers accept the I_BrowserrQueryOtherDomains (section 3.1.4.1.1) request and return the names of domains configured for browsing even if they are not the primary domain controller.
