Abstract:
1. A computer-storage device having computer-executable components adapted for use in a computer that is connectable to a network, the computer-executable components comprising: a) a communication service that, when executed by a processor, applies a configuration to the computer to form a connection over the network, the configuration based at least in part on a profile in a native mode; b) at least one interface that, when executed by a processor: c) a component that, when executed by a processor, forms the profile in the native mode from the stored generic profile information by processing at least one element in the stored generic profile information, the processing comprising, for each element of the at least one element: when the element is consistent with a schema applied by the component, adding information to the profile in the native mode based on the element; when the element is inconsistent with the schema, signaling an error condition; and when the element is not defined within the schema but is not inconsistent with the schema, ignoring the element in forming the profile in the native mode, whereby the profile in the native mode is generated for use by the configuration service in configuring the computer based on the generic profile information received through the interface when the computer-executable components are executed.
