# Policy CSP - ADMX_DistributedLinkTracking

> [!TIP]
> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable.  For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
> 
> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
> 
> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it.  For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

<!--Description-->
This policy specifies that Distributed Link Tracking clients in this domain may use the Distributed Link Tracking (DLT) server, which runs on domain controllers.  
The DLT client enables programs to track linked  files that are moved within an NTFS volume, to another NTFS volume on the same computer, or to an NTFS volume on  another computer.   
The DLT client can more reliably track links when allowed to use the DLT server.  
This policy should not be set unless the DLT server is running on all domain controllers in the domain.

> [!NOTE]
> This policy setting applies to all sites in Trusted zones.
