3.13.3 Initialization

The client application initiates the conversation with the server by performing DCOM activation ([MS-DCOM] section 3.2.4.1.1) of the CLSID specified in section 1.9. After getting the interface pointer to the DCOM object as a result of the activation, the client application works with the object by making calls on the DCOM interface that it supports. After the conversation with the server completes, the client application performs a release on the interface pointer.
