The haunt for knowledge

This is a follow up of the post regarding RPC errors.

First step to obtain a basic understanding of how MSRPC works can be found here. Microsoft has implemented their own version of RPC that they call MSRPC. Wikipedia puts the MSRPC implementation into a historical perspective and relates it to the source spesification called Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) from the Open Software Foundation.

I haven't yet found any specific information about how the Client- and Server Stubs are implemented in the Dynamics AX 3-tier architecture, but I'll try to dig a little bit more into this.

In addition to this, Microsoft recently also have published some KB articles on Partnersource that throws some more light on the issue I initially was blogging about. I'll try to find the URL's and update this post with the direct links when I get the time.
