Provisioning Schema::Schema
Element that encapsulates schema definitions for a provisioning procedure. This element is a standard XDR schema element used in the provisioning schema of Microsoft Provisioning Framework (MPF). For more information on the schema element, see "XML Schema Reference" in MSDN.
Arguments
No arguments.
Remarks
MPF procedures can have defined formats for both input schema and output schema, as specified by the name attribute. Schemas for a procedure are Develop Custom Namespaces in the procedure's and Registering Namespaces in MPF in the configuration database. Using Provisioning Manager, provisioning engines can be configured to validate data passed to a procedure against the procedure's input schema definition. This is done in Provisioning Engines, Properties, Enable Schema Validation.
