3.1.3 Initialization

  • Article

At initialization, the client invokes the task "Initialize an ADConnection", as defined in [MS-ADTS] section 7.6.1.1, with the following parameters:

  • TaskInputTargetName: NULL

  • TaskInputPortNumber: 389

Store the new TaskReturnADConnection returned from the task as the AD Connection Handle ADM element.

If the task returns failure and it is the first iteration, repeat from the beginning of the initialization. Otherwise, policy application MUST be terminated and an event SHOULD<11> be logged using an implementation-specific mechanism.

The Group Policy: Core Protocol provides a <gpo path> list corresponding to the Group Policy Object (GPO) applicable to this protocol. The Group Policy: Software Installation Protocol Extension protocol then processes the <gpo path> list as described in Policy Read Administration (section 3.1.5.1).
