Abstract
A provisioning server can cooperate with configuration management systems to deliver provisioning processes integrated with configuration management services. The provisioning server can associate provisioning objects for the various provisioning processes with management classes supported by the configuration management systems. The management classes can include data for configuring the resources of a target machine (hardware, software, data, etc.). As the provisioning server performs the provisioning process for a particular provisioning object on a target machine, the provisioning server can apply the management class, associated with the particular provisioning object, to the target machine.
