The activity properties provide ways to transfer data. For the Woodgrove Bank customization scenario, the name of the computer and the name of the group must be transferred from the automated provisioning activity to the workflow activity that does the actual work. The following diagram shows how the computer and group names pass from the Service Manager automated activity to the Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) activities in the workflow.
You can use the following steps to configure properties to pass the values:
- How to Set an Activity
Property to a Constant Value to set the Active Directory
Server property of the Add AD DS Computer To Group
activity to a constant value.
- How to Set an Activity
Property to Use a Value from the Trigger Class to associate the
ComputerName and GroupName properties defined
previously with the Computer name and Group name
properties of the Add AD DS Computer To Group activity.
For larger, more complex workflows, you have an additional option. To pass values from one activity to another, follow the steps in How to Set an Activity Property to Use a Value from Another Activity.
