[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
The IClassAdmin interface provides methods to administer a specific class store container.
The COM libraries implement this interface on the Class Store Provider object for ADSI/LDAP. Implementors of custom Class Store Provider objects can optionally implement IClassAdmin.
Note The Class Store Manager object does not implement this interface.
Call the methods of IClassAdmin to manually add new classes, packages, or interfaces. In most instances, it is preferable to use the package-level administration interfaces, which will be available in NT5, Beta 2.
