Remarks

The NTMS_LIBREQUESTINFORMATION data structure is part of the NTMS_OBJECTINFORMATION structure and is not used separately.

GUID in the workitmes may become invalid over time. For example, an eject of a scratch medium will delete the PMID after the media is ejected. However the work item is not updated upon completion of the eject.
