Description

Run a linked powershell script as a Dev Box customization task

Describe the solution you'd like
As a user, I should be able to:

  • Specify a single line or multi-line powershell script "inline"
  • This will only run during provisioning (and not at login)

Sample usage:

setupTasks:

  - task: powershell
    inputs:
      command: "Run-Powershell var1 var2"

Research direction

Start by locating the setupTasks handling and existing customization task entry points, then trace the provisioning path rather than the login path. Define completion as supporting single-line and multi-line PowerShell commands from inline input during provisioning, using the sample configuration as the behavioral check.
