2.5.4.3.1.2 System Assumptions and Preconditions

The following preconditions have to be satisfied for successful operation:

Preconditions: The client computers are configured to use Content Caching and Retrieval. A shared folder with the required file has been created on the content server with content caching support enabled. The user has located the URL of the file on the content server.

Note  The specific URLs (that is, \\server\share\file and \\192.168.0.3\share\file) are considered different for local caching, but not for Content Caching and Retrieval.

System availability: Appropriate content caching components are installed and enabled on all the computers involved.

Domain configuration: In a domain configuration, clients and servers have access to directory services that are provided by the domain.

Note  Domain configuration is not a requirement but can be used.

Authentication services: Authentication services, as described in [MS-AUTHSOD], are available to all clients and servers.

Network configuration: For system components that are running on different computers to communicate, the network services and infrastructure are functional and configured.
