Scripting Provider
Executes scripts for provisioning requests. Used by Microsoft® Provisioning Framework (MPF).
Provisioning processes frequently require execution of custom scripts. For example, a process may require execution of a script that parses output from one provider and passes the extracted text to another provider.
In addition to executing individual scripts, Scripting Provider can aggregate actions of providers or scripts or for prototyping when developing custom providers.
The provider has two execute procedures for scripting processes with and without rollback. In each, the actual script can be referenced from a file or embedded as inline XML (using a CDATA node to isolate characters such as "<" and ">" that have a different meaning in XML). The latter approach is much like a script block in an HTML page.
