3.1.3 Initialization

  • Article

The server MUST listen on the well-known endpoint defined for this RPC interface, as specified in section 2.1.

Information about DFS namespaces that the server hosts SHOULD be obtained from a local information store such as the registry. An entry MUST be created for each namespace in the NamespaceList. If the server is hosting any stand-alone namespaces, the metadata for that namespace MUST be initialized into the corresponding Namespace in the NamespaceList. If the server is joined to a domain and is hosting at least one DFS namespace, it MAY<27> determine the PDC for the domain and initialize PDCRoleHolder. As a performance optimization, it MAY<28> preload the DFSMetadataCache with the DFS metadata of the DFS namespaces for which it is acting as a root target.
