3.2.6.3 A File Cannot Be Found

  • Article

When a file has been moved, and the client wants to find it again, it MUST send a SEARCH message to the server. This message is sent to the server by using a LnkSvrMessage request, as defined in section 3.1.4.1, which specifies a MessageType in the TRKSVR_MESSAGE_UNION of SEARCH and a Priority value of zero.

The client MUST also specify the following fields in the TRK_FILE_TRACKING_INFORMATION structure used in this request:

  • The droidBirth field MUST be set to the FileID of the file that is being sought.

  • The droidLast field MUST be set to the last known FileLocation for the file.

  • The mcidLast field MUST be set to zero.

  • The hr field MUST be set to zero.

For example, these droidBirth and droidLast values could come from the FileLinkInformation maintained by a client of the Distributed Link Tracking: Workstation Protocol, as specified in [MS-DLTW] section 3.2.1.

See section 3.1.4.6 for information about the server processing of this message. See section 3.2.4.5 for the client's completion of this message.
