Making DCE/RPC Calls to Active Directory Time Bound Using SMB Redirector

Learn how to implement time-bound DCE/RPC calls to Active Directory in this technical conference presentation from the Storage Developer Conference 2022. Explore the challenges of synchronous DCE/RPC calls that can cause thread blocking and system hangs during network disruptions or slow connections. Discover an innovative solution that leverages SMB redirector to introduce timeouts without overhauling the DCE/RPC codebase. Follow along as the implementation details are explained, including how the redirector can handle asynchronous SMB calls and return appropriate timeout errors. Master the complexities of DCE/RPC communication with Active Directory while gaining practical insights into making these critical system calls more resilient and responsive in production environments.
