Windows-itpro-docs: Discrepancy in paths at DMClient page and ddf files.

[Harmyder]

At the page address of DMClient is ./Vendor/MSFT/DMClient but in the corresponding ddf file it is both ./User/Vendor/MSFT/DMClient and ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/DMClient.

As per User targeted vs. Device targeted configuration

By default, if no prefix with ./device or ./user, it is device targeted configuration.

From this, I infer that ./Vendor would rather map to ./Device/Vendor but not to ./User/Vendor. So it makes the matter even more confusing.

When I set all three possible addresses, I see that they all aliases, but is it always true?

<LocURI>./Vendor/MSFT/DMClient/Provider/MCConfigMgr/Push/PFN</LocURI>
<LocURI>./User/Vendor/MSFT/DMClient/Provider/MCConfigMgr/Push/PFN
<LocURI>./Device/Vendor/MSFT/DMClient/Provider/MCConfigMgr/Push/PFN</LocURI>

I use your ddf files to generate a management tree for testing purposes.

@Harmyder : Thank you for providing feedback to the MS Docs articles.

Did you close this issue ticket by mistake, or would you like to add a closing comment to explain why it should be closed?

[Harmyder]

@illfated while adding information to the issue after creation I found all answers I needed. Though I think that it would be useful to clarify at the page that DMClient is available for both User and Device. Thank you.

[illfated]

Thank you for the additional feedback. Fair enough. We may want to look into that.

@ManikaDhiman : Do you find the feedback useful enough to reopen the ticket, in case it can be used to add improvements to the document?

Thanks. 👍

[ManikaDhiman]

Per inputs from the product team, added a section for ."/Vendor/MSFT" in the DMClient CSP doc. The DDF updates are being tracked by the product team internally. The DMClient DDF file doc will be updated when the updates are available in the actual DDF file.

@e0i: Please review and close this issue. Thanks!

[illfated]

Thank you for the update. That looks like good news to me. I am glad to see that the information was useful enough to keep this ticket alive a bit longer.

Closing this issue as the required updates have been added to the doc.
