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®.

MPF procedures can have defined formats for both input schema and output schema, as specified by the name attribute. Schemas for a procedure are defined in the procedure's namespace and registered 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.
