Account Database Replication Structures (section 2.2.1.5) and Account Database Replication Methods (section 3.5.4.6). These structures and methods were used in the account database replication.
Domain Trust Structures (section 2.2.1.6) and Domain Trust Methods (section 3.5.4.7). Structures and methods in this group are used for retrieving domain trust information.
Message Protection Methods (section 3.5.4.8). Methods in this group are used for performing the message protection services.
Administrative Services Structures (section 2.2.1.7) and Administrative Services Methods (section 3.5.4.9). This group of structures and methods is used for querying and controlling the Netlogon Remote Protocol server.
