2.4 Assumptions and Preconditions
The following assumptions and preconditions need to be satisfied for the Storage Services protocols to operate successfully:
The Storage Services components (disk management service, Shadow Copy service, RSMP service, and the EFS service) are installed on all the computers involved.
The RPC extensions and DCOM transport protocols are available.
The Admin Client has obtained the name of a server that implements the Storage Services protocols before the protocol is called. The Admin Client also requires sufficient security privileges to configure disks and volumes on the server.
The network services and infrastructure are functional and configured so that required components such as protocols and ports are remotely accessible. The network access is required to enable system components that are running on different computers to communicate.
