Re: open pegasus 2.12 & SCVMM integration

Ben
this is what i was getting at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee309362%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Its called the interop namespace but its actual name is usually
root\interop which is the standard for most WBEM implementations.
There are a few exceceptions such as older versions of openpegasus call it
root\PG_Interop but in general root\interop is the standard for nearly
every WBEM server.
That being said just because it should be registered in root\interop
doesn't mean it should be used in the root\interop namespace.In addition
I've never seen a single work namespace before and while I dont think ive
seen any thing in the standard that explicitly forbids it it is implied in
the DMTF documents that you shouldn't do it, so i don't know how well WBEM
servers or even the clients would deal with it.

so If I'm right
"
*        <LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>*

*          <NAMESPACE NAME="interop" />*

*        </LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>*

*"*

*should really be *

*"
*

*        <LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>*

*          **<NAMESPACE NAME="root" />*

*          <NAMESPACE NAME="interop" />*

*        </LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>*
