1.3.3 Folder Redirection Administrative-Side Plug-In

The Folder Redirection Administrative-Side Plug-in determines (through the Group Policy Protocol, as specified in [MS-GPOL]) the path of a file containing the Folder Redirection protocol data. Given the path name, the plug-in retrieves the contents of the file using SMB as a transport, as specified in [MS-SMB].

An administrator uses the Folder Redirection Administrative-Side Plug-in to read the current configuration for users' folders and to modify the configuration data for any of the users' folders by way of the user interface of the plug-in. If the administrator modifies any data, the Folder Redirection Administrative-Side Plug-in writes the modified folder redirection protocol configuration data to the remote storage location, using SMB as a transport.
