Process Affinity Mask

Default Value: 0 (no restrictions)

Description: Specifies the process affinity mask for the Provisioning Server service process. The process affinity mask is a bit vector in which each bit represents the processor of a multiprocessor server on which the threads of the process are allowed to run.

The value 0 (default) signifies no restrictions.

The values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 restrict the threads to running on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th processor, respectively.

For example, the values can be combined so the value 5 (1+4) can be used to allow running on processors 1 and 3.
