Obtaining a list of namespaces by using XML

You can use the GetNamespaces procedure of the MPF Config namespace to obtain a list of the namespaces that are installed in Microsoft Provisioning Framework (MPF). No rollback support is provided for this procedure.

This procedure expects to be called with impersonate="1". The procedure impersonates the caller.

	<execute namespace="MPF Config" procedure="GetNamespaces" impersonate="1">
	<after source="executeData" destination="data" />

Important

• Although Active Directory is not case sensitive for elements such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path, XML is case sensitive. To ensure that the procedure executes appropriately, specify all tags, elements, and data using uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as shown in the XML examples. For additional guidelines on how to use XML, see the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/).
