[MS-OXORULE] PidTagRuleCondition confusion

Question

Hi,

In MS-OXORULE v20090712, Section 2.2.1.3.2.9 "PidTagRuleCondition", the condition associated with a rule is shown as type PtypServerEntryId.

In MS-OXPROPS v20090712, Section 2.1022 "PidTagRuleCondition" contains "Data type: PtypServerEntryId, 0x00FD"

In MS-OXCDATA v20090712, Section 2.12.1 "Property Value Types" says that 0x00FD is PtypRestriction, which "Table Variable size, a byte array representing one or more Restriction structures as specified in section 2.13."

MS-OXCDATA describes the Restrictions (Section 2.13) and PtypServerId (2.12.1.3), but doesn't seem to mention PtypServerEntryId.

Is there any more explanation on this?

Brad

Hi Brad,

Thank you for pointing out these issues in the document.  I will investigate and file the appropriate bugs and respond with more details on the last one you presented:

MS-OXCDATA describes the Restrictions (Section 2.13) and PtypServerId (2.12.1.3), but doesn't seem to mention PtypServerEntryId.

Hi Brad,

A document bug was filed and it is being addressed.  I do not know a definitive time frame for when this will appear in the updated documentation at this point.

Answer 6

Brad,

 

PtypServerEntryId (0x00FD) was changed to PtypRestriction. OXCDATA and OXPROPS are consistent and accurate in its use of PtypRestriction. OXORULE is incorrect and needs to be modified to have PtypServerEntryId changed to PtypRestriction in PidTagRuleCondition (Section 2.2.1.3.2.9), and PtypServerEntryId changed to PtypRuleAction in PidTagRuleActions (Section 2.2.1.3.2.10).

 

Is this information sufficient?

Hi,

I'm OK with the answer, but it looks like OXPROPS does need changes.

I see (as of [MS-OXPROPS] — v20090712) the following entries:
2.1020 PidTagRuleActions
Canonical name: PidTagRuleActions
Property ID: 0x6680
Data type: PtypServerEntryId, 0x00FE
Area: Server-Side Rules Properties
References:[MS-OXODLGT], [MS-OXORULE]
Alternate names: PR_RULE_ACTIONS, ptagRuleActions

and

2.1022 PidTagRuleCondition
Canonical name: PidTagRuleCondition
Property ID: 0x6679
Data type: PtypServerEntryId, 0x00FD
Area: Server-Side Rules Properties
References: [MS-OXODLGT], [MS-OXORULE]
Alternate names: PR_RULE_CONDITION, ptagRuleCondition

Answer 8

Brad,

Thank you for this information. It also seems that PtypServerEntryId is also referenced in the following Section as well:

2.1091   PidTagSentMailSvrEID
Canonical name: PidTagSentMailSvrEID
Property ID: 0x6740
Data type: PtypServerEntryId, 0x00FB
Area: ProviderDefinedNonTransmittable
References: [MS-OXCSTOR], [MS-OXOMSG]
Alternate names: ptagSentMailSvrEID

I will file three bugs against the documentation to resolve these issues.

Answer 9

Dominic,

Note that that version is the 0x00FB variant, which does more closely match PtypServerId (See OXCDATA 2.12.1.3 "The PtypServerId Type")

Thanks again.

Brad

Answer 10

Brad,

The corrections to these three tag descriptions have been made and are now available in the newly published MS-OXPROPS version.  For convenience, here are the new sections:

2.1060   PidTagRuleActions
Canonical name: PidTagRuleActions
Property ID: 0x6680
Data type: PtypRuleAction, 0x00FE
Area: Server-Side Rules Properties
References:[MS-OXODLGT], [MS-OXORULE]
Alternate names: PR_RULE_ACTIONS, ptagRuleActions

2.1062   PidTagRuleCondition
Canonical name: PidTagRuleCondition
Property ID: 0x6679
Data type: PtypRestriction, 0x00FD
Area: Server-Side Rules Properties
References: [MS-OXODLGT], [MS-OXORULE]

2.1132   PidTagSentMailSvrEID
Canonical name: PidTagSentMailSvrEID
Property ID: 0x6740
Data type: PtypServerId, 0x00FB
Area: ProviderDefinedNonTransmittable
References: [MS-OXCSTOR], [MS-OXOMSG]
Alternate names: ptagSentMailSvrEID

Notice that the section numbers have changed due to additional tags in the list.
