3.1.4.21.1 Directory Service Objects

The directory defined by this protocol is composed of eight types of directory service objects, representing enterprises, sites, routing links, machines, users, queues, connected networks, and deleted objects. Seven of the eight directory service object types model elements in an MSMQ enterprise, while the deleted object type is used in replication of the directory between site controllers and consequently is an internal detail of some servers and MUST not be manipulated by client implementations. The following diagram shows the concept of ownership between these directory service object types.
