2.1.3.1.7 Policy File Read Operation
When the Group Policy client has all the GPO attribute information that applies to the Group Policy client, has evaluated WMI filters, and has determined the link state, it is ready to read the extension information from the policy files.
By using the specific extensions that are relevant to the GPO, the Group Policy client makes a file access protocol request to the file system location that is indicated by the attributes returned in the LDAP queries specified in section 2.1.3.1.4. It then reads the specific extension settings from the policy files.
