Hi David: The definition of 'DsRole_RoleStandaloneWorkstation' and 'DsRole_RoleStandaloneServer' (and others) is in MS-DSSP section 2.2.2.
Please review that and let me know if that information resolves your question. If it does not, please rephrase your question in the light of the information about the roles. Although MS-DSSP is listed in the normative references in MS-GPOL, I'll file a bug to add a reference to section 2.2.2 of MS-DSSP in MS-GPOL for further clarity.

First off, what do the roles 'DsRole_RoleStandaloneWorkstation' and 'DsRole_RoleStandaloneServer' refer to? Is it saying only perform these steps for an ADDC? Or does it mean skip this if the machine isn't joined to a domain? It isn't clear what these roles mean. Second, it says if the method returns ERROR_NO_SITENAME to continue the GPO search. The server is responding with INVALID_COMPUTERNAME, not ERROR_NO_SITENAME. Perhaps this is because we were supposed to skip the search due to the 'skip' message at the top of 3.2.5.1.4? Or were we supposed to make this site name request, and the server is responding incorrectly? -- David Mulder Labs Software Engineer, Samba SUSE 1221 S Valley Grove Way, Suite 500 Pleasant Grove, UT 84062 (P)+1 385.208.2989 dmul...@suse.com http://www.suse.com/ _______________________________________________ cifs-protocol mailing list cifs-protocol@lists.samba.org https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-protocol
