4.1 Synchronizing Tasks Between Client and Server

  • Article

The following example demonstrates a client’s request to create a new task on the server, and the server’s response. In this example, the client sends a Sync command request ([MS-ASCMD] section 2.2.1.21) to the server that contains information for a task that was created on the client, and the server responds with a Sync command response ([MS-ASCMD] section 2.2.1.21).
