2.2.1 Common Message Requirements

  • Article

Messages exchanged in this protocol allow the client to discover settings in the GPOs that instruct clients to execute arbitrary commands. After interpreting the settings, the client attempts to execute the scripts according to the settings.

The following definitions aid in understanding this section:

Computer-scoped GPO path: A scoped GPO path that ends in "\Machine".

Scoped GPO path: A GPO path that is appended with "\User" for the user policy mode of a policy application (or "\Machine" for the computer policy mode).

User-scoped GPO path: A scoped GPO path that ends in "\User".

 Messages of the protocol are transferred as files using remote file access. The files MUST be named as "<gpo path>\scripts\scripts.ini" or "<gpo path>\scripts\psscripts.ini", where <gpo path> is a scoped GPO path.
