3.1.1 Abstract Data Model
The abstract data model of the Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol for an administrator includes the abstract data model of Group Policy, as specified in [MS-GPOL] section 3.1.1. For more information about the meanings of the different attributes, see [MSFT-WNPE], [MSFT-EADWNP], [MSFT-NFLHWV], [EXP-GPOL], [MS-ADSC], and sections 6.15 and 6.16.
In addition, the administrator needs to obtain the configuration details of the networks being configured. The abstract data model for these configuration details maps to the data elements specified in section 2.2.
The following table shows different policy types and their corresponding containers and classes.

In the preceding table, the <ScopedGPOPath> is the scoped GPO path for the computer GPO. Details about the scoped GPO path are as specified in [MS-GPOL] section 2.2.2. The Active Directory classes (policyClass) listed in the table are found by searching the container path (policyContainerPath), which corresponds to the policy type (policyType). The following sections refer to these entries as policyType, policyContainerPath, and policyClass.
