3.1.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this Windows Server Update Services (WSUS): Administrative API Remoting Protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS): Administrative API Remoting Protocol behaves. This specification does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this specification.

This protocol includes the following abstract data model (ADM) elements, which are directly accessed from the Windows Update Services: Server-Server Protocol as specified in [MS-WSUSSS] section 3.1.1:

  • TargetGroup Table

  • DSS Table

  • Client computers table
