The Managed Hosting namespace provides procedures for initializing Active Directory for Web hosting, querying roles and organizations, and performing initial management tasks. The procedures in the Managed Hosting namespace have been specifically created for use in the hosting structure implemented by Microsoft Provisioning System.
The Managed Hosting namespace is required to implement Delegated Administration Console. If you are not using Delegated Administration Console, you can still use the Managed Active Directory namespace and Resource Manager in Microsoft Provisioning System. To do so, use the Managed Hosting namespace to initialize services as described in the table that appears in this topic.
The Managed Hosting namespace implements the following procedures.
| Procedure | Description |
|---|---|
| GetCallerUIRoles | Returns a list of the user interface (UI) roles that the caller may perform. |
| GetOrgType | Returns the organization type: hosting, reseller, customer, or private. |
| InitializeADforHosting | Creates a hosting organizational unit a the top level of the domain to initialize Active Directory for Web hosting. |
| InitializeRM_ | Creates resource and consumer types for Resource Manager. |
| TestDomainAdmin | Generates an error if the caller does not have domain administration privileges. |
| TryAddConsumerType_ | Is a private helper. |
| TryAddResourceType_ | Is a private helper. |
| TryAddResourceTypeData_ | Is a private helper. |
| UninitializeRM_ | Deletes resource types and consumer types for Resource Manager. |
