3.2.1 Abstract Data Model

This section specifies a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation can maintain to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.

Local Timer Interval: Contains the current duration in minutes of the Local Timer (section 3.2.2). The initial value is zero.

RetrievedDomainName: Contains the domain name retrieved by the DC locator operation, as specified in section 3.2.5.1.

ADConnectionHandle: An ADConnection structure ([MS-ADTS] section 7.3, "ADConnection Abstract Data Model") of type ADCONNECTION_HANDLE ([MS-DTYP] section 2.2.2, "ADCONNECTION_HANDLE") that tracks a connection to an Active Directory server.

Note An ADCONNECTION_HANDLE object is returned by the ADConnection initialization operation specified in section 3.2.5.2.

LocalWhenChanged: A copy of the whenChanged attribute from the ipsecPolicy object (see section 2.2.1.1.1) of the assigned policy.

FilteredGPOList: A list of new or changed GPOs since this client-side extension was last applied. Filtered GO List is defined in [MS-GPOL] section 3.2.1.5.
