Save Method of the IFPCNonWindowsUsers Interface

The Save method saves the current values of all the properties of the collection and its elements to persistent storage. It is important to remember that any changes made by scripts and programs are not saved until after the Save method is called.

[C++]

Syntax

HRESULT Save(
  [in, optional]  VARIANT_BOOL fResetRequiredServices,
  [in, optional]  VARIANT_BOOL fReloadConfiguration
);

Parameters

fResetRequiredServices
Boolean value that indicates whether to restart the services that need to be restarted for any of the changes saved to take effect. The default value is VARIANT_FALSE.
fReloadConfiguration
This parameter is provided for compatibility with ISA Server. The default value is VARIANT_TRUE. In Forefront TMG, this parameter is ignored.

Return Value

This method returns S_OK if the call is successful; otherwise, it returns an error code.

[Visual Basic]

Syntax

Sub Save( _
  [ ByVal fResetRequiredServices As Boolean ], _
  [ ByVal fReloadConfiguration As Boolean ] _
)

Parameters

fResetRequiredServices
Boolean value that indicates whether to restart the services that need to be restarted for any of the changes saved to take effect. The default value is False.
fReloadConfiguration
This parameter is provided for compatibility with ISA Server. The default value is True. In Forefront TMG, this parameter is ignored.

Return Value

This method has no return values. If the call is unsuccessful, an error is raised that can be intercepted by using an error handler.

Remarks

Configuration changes are applied only after the new settings are written to persistent storage and reloaded to the services that use them. Most changes can be applied dynamically without restarting any services. However, some changes can take effect only after the Microsoft Firewall service is restarted. For more information, see Restarting Services After Configuration Changes.

Forefront TMG maintains a bitmask that specifies which services need to be started for currently unsaved changes to take effect. This bitmask can be retrieved by calling the GetServiceRestartMask method on an object that contains this object as a subobject. Calling the Save method clears all of the bits in this bitmask even if the fResetRequiredServices parameter is set to False (VARIANT_FALSE in C++).

Client Requires Windows Vista or Windows XP.
Server Requires Windows Server 2008.
Version Requires Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG).
IDL

Declared in Msfpccom.idl.
