Microsoft RPC accepts names that conform to the following syntax:
/.:/name[/name...]/.../domainname/name[/name...]
name
Specifies an identifier that can contain any character except the delimiting slash (/) character.
domainname
Specifies the name of the domain.
A parameter that selects the name-syntax type and the string that specifies the name are supplied to many of the name service interface (NSI) RPC functions.
Only one name-syntax type is supported by Microsoft RPC, as specified by the constant RPC_C_NS_SYNTAX_DCE. This constant is defined in the header file RPCNSI.H.
The name syntax specified by RPC_C_NS_SYNTAX_DCE is an extension of the OSF_DCE Cell Directory Service (CDS) name syntax. The ability to specify a domain name represents an extension to that syntax. There is no absolute limit on the number of names that can be separated by slash characters as long as the overall string is less than 256 characters.
The slashes allow you to specify a logical structure to the name, but they do not correspond to a logical structure in the objects themselves.
