<28> Section 2.2.4.96: Following are examples of values that this field can have for Microsoft-supported protocols:

  • NETBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP)

    On Windows 2000 operating system and later, Windows Server 2003  operating system and later, the format is as follows, where the value between braces is the GUID of the underlying physical interface that is generated by the operating system at installation time: \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{2C9725F4-151A-11D3-AEEC-C3B211BD350B}

    On Windows NT 4.0, the format is as follows, where DC21X41 is the name for the adapter chosen by the manufacturer: \Device\NetBT_DC21X41

  • Direct hosting of SMB over TCP/IP (NetBIOS-less SMB)

    This protocol is available only on Windows 2000 operating system and later, Windows Server 2003 operating system and later. The format is: \Device\NetbiosSmb

  • Nwlnk (the Microsoft version of the Novell IPX/SPX Protocol [NWLINK])

    This protocol is not installed by default. It provides the following two transports: \Device\NwlnkIpx and \Device\NwlnkNb

  • NetBEUI

    This protocol is supported only on Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0. The value between braces is the GUID of the underlying physical port generated by the operating system at installation time. The NdisWanNbfOut/NdisWanNbfIn devices correspond to bindings between the NetBEUI transport and NDISWAN driver. The format options are:

    \Device\Nbf_{868B258E-252B-4F65-A383-18803360701F}

    \Device\Nbf_NdisWanNbfOut{77C17309-B558-4096-8A2B-2D1E9E4FC932}

    \Device\Nbf_NdisWanNbfIn{331BB986-F9B0-406C-9FA2-36425F52CC05}

<29> Section 2.2.4.96: This member is usually the NetBIOS name that the server is using, or it can represent an SMB/IPX name.

<30> Section 2.2.4.96: The server normalizes this to 16 characters by truncating the given length to this value if it is larger, or padding the transport address buffer with the blank character (0x20) until the length is 16.

<31> Section 2.2.4.96: Following are examples of values this field can have for Microsoft-supported protocols:

  • NETBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP)

    The MAC address of the n/w device, for example: 00065b5da43f

  • NetBIOS over SMB

    000000000000

  • Nwlnk (the Microsoft version of the Novell IPX/SPX Protocol [NWLINK])

    The MAC address of the n/w device, for example: 00065b5da43f

  • NetBEUI

    The MAC address of the n/w device for the non-NdisWan devices, for example: 00065b5da43f

For the NdisWan devices, this pointer is an index into internal connection tables of the driver. The first two characters are generated randomly by using the current system tick count and the next two by using the current system time at installation. The last eight characters are always 20524153 and stand for the string "RAS" including the leading blank. For example: d2e820524153.

<32> Section 3.1.1: In Windows, virtual shares are implemented in DFS, which is a referral service to SMB shares, as specified in [MS-DFSC]. The DFS abstract model is specified in [MS-DFSC]. DFS is a special type of share that is relevant to the Windows client.

<33> Section 3.1.1: By default, Windows-based SMB and SMB2 servers are configured to listen on both Direct TCP as specified in [MS-SMB] sections 1.9 and 2.1, and NetBIOS over TCP as specified in [MS-CIFS] section 2.1.1.2. Windows-based CIFS servers are configured to listen on additional NetBIOS-based transports as specified in [MS-CIFS] section 2.1, when the appropriate link layers are available. These settings can also be obtained via policy or DHCP configuration.

<34> Section 3.1.1: Windows-specific transport names are as specified in the product behavior note for svti3_transportname in section 2.2.4.96.

<35> Section 3.1.1: Windows stores the list of all active shares that are identified by a share identifier in the registry, at the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver.

<36> Section 3.1.1.7: This method is only supported in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Otherwise, it returns an implementation-specific error code.

<37> Section 3.1.3: Windows-based servers set this flag to SV_TYPE_NT.

<38> Section 3.1.3: Windows stores these named pipes in the registry at the path "\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\NullSessionPipes".

    • UNIX-style "/" converted to DOS-style "\"

    • Specific transliteration

      Note The input case is NOT converted. The underlying file system can be case insensitive. The path is passed through, with the case exactly as presented by the caller.

<168> Section 3.1.4.43: Windows implementations first seek within the registry subkey SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DfsDriver\CoveredSites  for a value that matches the ServerName parameter. If that value is present and a REG_MULTI_SZ value, its contents form the list returned by the method. Otherwise, the list is formed in the next two steps.

First, the implementation makes a call to the local Netlogon Remote Protocol server using the DsrGetSiteName method, as specified in [MS-NRPC] section 3.5.4.3.6. In this call, a NULL ComputerName argument is provided. If successful and a site name is returned, this name forms part of the response. This site name will be marked with the DFS_SITE_PRIMARY flag, as specified in section 2.2.4.109 of this document.

Second, the implementation seeks the registry value SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DfsDriver\CoveredSites\CoveredSites . If that value is present and a REG_MULTI_SZ value, its contents form the rest of the list returned by the method.
