Hi, Andrew,


   Thanks for your question regarding NETLOGON_NT_VERSION_5EX_WITH_IP flag.



   In terms of the server, it is not deprecated.  That is, current servers 
still support requests that include this flag and respond appropriately.  For a 
server to be interoperable with Windows clients,  it needs to accept the flag 
in either way whenever it is sent.  The documentation explains what server 
should do if the bit is set in the NtVersion flag and what server should do if 
it is not set and that it should be prepared to accept a communication that 
contains this flag at any time.  Any actions taken by a Windows client based on 
this flag do not affect the interoperability of a server implementation.





Thanks

That's what I mean.  I note that modern clients such as Vista Ultimate don't 
seem to send this flag in their default query, so wondered if this part of the 
protocol was some deprecated experiment no longer in use.



Alternately, in what situations would a Microsoft client set this flag?



Thanks,



Andrew Bartlett
