The sequence is described in the following steps:

  1. The server exports the interface.

  2.  The server locator exports the name service entry to Active Directory. For more information, see section 3.2.2.4.1.

  3. The client initiates a lookup by name.

  4. The client locator initiates a DS lookup and finds the name service entry. For more information, see section 3.3.2.4.1.

  5. The client locator returns the lookup handle to the client process.
