3.3.5.8 GPO Link Deletion

Whenever an administrative tool deletes a link from a GPO to a SOM, the "gpLink" attribute on the SOM is updated, which produces an LDAP modifyRequest message from the client to the server (as defined in section 2.2.8.4).

The result of modifyRequest is a modifyResponse message in reply, as defined in [RFC2251] section 4.6. The resultCode field value determines a failure or success for the message. If the value of the modifyResponse message's resultCode is integer 0, it indicates success. Any other resultCode value indicates a failure.

Parameters to the GPO Link Deletion event are:

Parameter

Description

SOM DN for the SOM being updated

The distinguished name (DN)  for the object defining the SOM to be updated.

GPO DN

The distinguished name for the GPO to be deleted from the GPO Link list.

GPO Link list

A list of GPO and GPO Link Options as defined in the "gpLink" attribute on the object referred to by the SOM DN.

The GPO DN specified MUST be located by comparing the GPO DN parameter against the GPO DN in each GPO Link in the GPO Link list. If the GPO DN is located in the list, it MUST be removed from the GPO Link list. A directory string as defined in the "gpLink" description in section 2.2.2 MUST be created by enumerating the GPO Link list elements in order. The directory string is used as the attribute value in the SOM Property Update Message, defined in section 2.2.8.4.
