Almost in all the PowerShell Scripts, either we will be reading the configuration values from CSV File or an XML file. Let us Keep the code clean to read the value from the XML File.

 function LoadConfigXML()
 {
     $Progress = "0:Entered"
     Write-Host "Entered into LoadConfigXML Method" -ForegroundColor Yellow 
     Add-Content "$ProgressFile" "Entered into LoadConfigXML Method"
     
     $ConfigXmlPath = $scriptBase + "Configuration.xml"
     
     [Xml]$Config = Get-Content $ConfigXmlPath  
     
     Write-Host "Finished LoadConfigXML Method" -ForegroundColor Green 
     Add-Content "$ProgressFile" "Finished LoadConfigXML Method"
     
     return $Config
     
     $Progress = "0:Success"
 }

# Load the Configuration File

$Config = LoadConfigXML
