1.4 Relationship to Other Protocols
The Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol depends on the Group Policy: Core Protocol [MS-GPOL]. The Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol is initiated only as part of the Group Policy: Core Protocol as specified in [MS-GPOL] section 1.4, which specifies invocation of all Group Policy protocol extensions. The Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol also depends on LDAP, and on all of the protocols on which the Group Policy: Core Protocol depends.
The Wireless/Wired Group Policy administrative-side and client-side plug-ins read and write wireless or wired networking configuration data using LDAP.
The following figure shows the relationship between the Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol and the Group Policy: Core Protocol. The Group Policy: Core Protocol can use either LDAP or file access services. However, the Wireless/Wired Group Policy protocol always uses LDAP as the transport.
