Component Server Program Component IPC startup service IPC data service IPC_AD program Description Complete the replies to client PXE requests, and the authentication of the client license number Complete the actual data communication between the client and the server The IPC_AD tool should be used to complete the joining domain of the client and coordinate with the account authentication of AD domain members. IPC_AD must be installed on the domain control server, and the server can be the secondary domain control server which is not installed with other components of IPC. Hardware KEY, IPC software authorization protection Client program which is necessary, communicating with the server when producing and using the mirror image.
