[cifs-protocol] What is ADWS? - TrackingID#2406240040003279

[Douglas Bagnall]

hi Jeff,

Sorry I have been away.

That's all I wanted to ask for the moment.

I really did just want a high level summary of documentation, to be sure 
that I was on the right track.

Later I might get into specific tangles.

thanks!

Douglas
