[cifs-protocol] Meaning of 'RoleStandalone' in [MS-GPOL] 3.2.5.1.4 Site Search

[David Mulder]

In [MS-GPOL] 3.2.5.1.4 Site Search, the document says: "This procedure 
is skipped if Machine Role is equal to DsRole_RoleStandaloneWorkstation 
or DsRole_RoleStandaloneServer."

First off, what do the roles 'DsRole_RoleStandaloneWorkstation' and 
'DsRole_RoleStandaloneServer' refer to? Is it saying only perform these 
steps for an ADDC? Or does it mean skip this if the machine isn't joined 
to a domain? It isn't clear what these roles mean.

Second, it says if the method returns ERROR_NO_SITENAME to continue the 
GPO search. The server is responding with INVALID_COMPUTERNAME, not 
ERROR_NO_SITENAME. Perhaps this is because we were supposed to skip the 
search due to the 'skip' message at the top of 3.2.5.1.4? Or were we 
supposed to make this site name request, and the server is responding 
incorrectly?
