1.5 Prerequisites/Preconditions

This protocol requires that the DCOM protocol is implemented on both the client and server computers.

This protocol is implemented over DCOM and RPC and, as a result, has the prerequisites identified in [MS-DCOM] and [MS-RPCE] as being common to DCOM and RPC interfaces.

This protocol specification assumes that any security or authentication associations between the client and server are performed by the DCOM layer.
