1.3.1 Wireless/Wired Group Policy Administrative-Side Plug-in

When an administrator uses an administrative tool to create a new wireless or wired Group Policy within a GPO, the administrative-side plug-in generates the data and saves it in the generic data store using LDAP, as specified in [MS-GPOL] section 3.3.4.

The following illustration shows this process. Logical Client refers to an administrative tool; Server refers to the generic data store.

Figure 1: Logical client/server LDAP add communication

When an administrator uses an administrative tool to update an existing wireless or wired Group Policy within a GPO, the administrative-side plug-in uses LDAP modify functionality to update the data in the generic data store.

In the following illustration, Logical Client refers to an administrative tool; Server refers to the generic data store.

Similarly, when an administrator uses an administrative tool to read or delete a wireless or wired Group Policy within a GPO, the administrative-side plug-in uses appropriate LDAP functionality to read or delete the data in the generic data store. See section 3.1 for more information on these operations.
