Subject: Linked attributes in AD claims objects sent as plain DNs

Hi,

In Windows 2012R2 active directory, objects related to claims in the 
configuration partition such as:

CN=Global Resource Property List,CN=Resource Property Lists,CN=Claims 
Configuration,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=X

When sent over DRS replication, attributes such as 
"msDS-MembersOfResourcePropertyList" which are defined as linked attributes in 
the schema (linkID non-zero), should be returned in the "rgValues" field in the 
DRS_MSG_GETCHGREPLY_V6 defined in MS-DRSR:4.1.10.2.12, but are instead returned 
as normal object attributes in field "pObjects".

Samba relies on receiving linked attributes in the specified format, and our 
code's assumptions are broken by current Windows behaviour. We want to know:

1. Are these objects a special case during provision of a domain controller? Do 
further modifications change the format Windows returns, and are these changes 
persistent?

2. Are these objects a special case generally, throughout Active Directory 
functionality, and therefore need special handling?

3. If these require special handling, is the required behaviour documented 
somewhere? The behaviour has some similarity to Windows 2000-level linked 
attributes, but these objects were introduced in
2012R2 specifically.

Thanks,

Aaron H and Garming S
