3.1.1.1 RPC Services Container

In Directory and Directory-only modes, locators rely on an Active Directory store (Active Directory Entry Cache, see section 3.2.2.1) in the domain of the computer for persistently storing and looking up name service entries represented as Active Directory objects. These Active Directory objects MUST reside under the CN=RpcServices, CN=System location under the Domain Naming Context of the computer domain. This container MUST be of class rpcContainer and can have direct child objects as instances of classes rpcServer, rpcGroup, and rpcProfile. Correspondence between name service entries and Active Directory schema classes is specified in Name Service Entries in Active Directory (section 1.3.3).

Entry FQDN: The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a given Active Directory entry representation MUST be defined by concatenating the RDN of the entry (Name Service Entry RDN (section 2.2.5.1.1)) with the FQDN of the RPC services container.

Domain name: The name of the domain the computer is a member of, or empty if the computer is not joined to a domain. It is assumed that this is known prior to initialization of these extensions.

Domain Controller flag: A flag, if set indicates that the computer is acting as a domain controller for the domain. It is assumed that this is known prior to initialization of these extensions.
