3.2.3 Initialization

  • Article

The server MUST listen on the well-known endpoint that is defined for this RPC interface. For more information, see section 2.1.<8>

ComputerUpgrade is initialized to FALSE.

PreviousServerState is initialized to DsRoleServerUnknown.

ComputerOperationState is initialized to DsRoleOperationIdle.

ComputerRole is set only during initialization. It is initialized as follows:

  • If the server meets the requirements of a domain controller as described in [MS-ADTS] section 6.1.2.1, then

    • If the server is hosting the PdcEmulationMasterRole ([MS-ADTS] section 3.1.1.1.11), ComputerRole is set to  DsRole_RolePrimaryDomainController, else ComputerRole is set to DsRole_RoleBackupDomainController. The server determines if it is hosting the PdcEmulationMasterRole by invoking the IsEffectiveRoleOwner function with the roleObject parameter set to RoleObject(Default NC, PdcEmulationMasterRole) (see [MS-ADTS] section 3.1.1.5.1.8).

  • Else

    • If DNSDomainName is not NULL, then ComputerRole is set to DsRole_RoleMemberServer, else ComputerRole is set to DsRoleStandaloneServer.
