Re: Anyone from MS?

Not hidden, yet it should not have been documented. That's an interesting
paradigm. Maybe a new term like "almost documented functionality" would be
more precise?

So let's say that I'd like to know more about this feature now that the BOL
team has gotten my curiousity up. Where does one go to find out precisely
what this functionality does and the format for the DLL's referenced by it?
Obviously not BOL since it was not supposed to be in there in the first
place. Searching MSDN returns only the BOL pages that "almost document" it.
Where's the documentation? Is it documented in the Vista docs?

Not a hidden function but one that only makes sense if you are running SQL
Server as part of the OS which normal users can't do.

Those should not show up in the doc. They are used by some internal
Windows components in Vista for signing MS specific schema.


Interesting. Basically it's just proprietary tweaks and hidden
functionality that no one but MS can use? It just accidentally got
halfway into the documentation, eh? Didn't MS just settle a big case
with the European Union over this type of thing?
