Overview

The drsr package implements the DRSR client protocol.

Introduction

The Directory Replication Service (DRS) Remote Protocol is an RPC protocol for replication and management of data in Active Directory.

The protocol consists of two RPC interfaces named drsuapi and dsaop. The name of each drsuapi method begins with "IDL_DRS", while the name of each dsaop method begins with "IDL_DSA". This protocol was originally implemented in Windows 2000 Server operating system and is available in all subsequent server releases. It is not available in Windows NT 3.1 operating system, Windows NT 3.51 operating system, or Windows NT 4.0 operating system.

Some functionality exposed by these RPC protocols is also available using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) protocol ([MS-ADTS] section 3.1.1.3); the overlap is described in section 1.4.

The special typographical conventions used in this document are described in section 3.2.

State is included in the state model for this specification only as necessitated by the requirement that a licensee implementation of the protocols of applicable Windows Server releases has to be capable of receiving messages and responding in the same manner as applicable Windows Server releases. Behavior is specified in terms of request message received, processing based on current state, resulting state transformation, and response message sent. Unless otherwise specified, all behaviors are required elements of the protocol. Any specified behavior not explicitly qualified with MAY or SHOULD is to be treated as if it were specified as a MUST behavior.

AD LDS for Windows Client operating systems

Note that information that is applicable to Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) on applicable Windows Server releases is also generally applicable to AD LDS on Windows clients. For more information, see [MS-ADTS] section 1.

Pervasive Concepts

The following concepts are pervasive throughout this specification.

This specification uses [KNUTH1] section 2.3.4.2 as a reference for the graph-related terms oriented tree, root, vertex, arc, initial vertex, and final vertex.

Overview

This document specifies the Directory Replication Service (DRS) Remote Protocol, an RPC protocol for replication between domain controllers and management of Active Directory. The protocol consists of two RPC interfaces, named drsuapi and dsaop. The name of each drsuapi method begins with "IDL_DRS", while the name of each dsaop method begins with "IDL_DSA".
