PowerShell: Read variables from xml-file

Create an xml-file with the following content and save it as config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <General>
    <Domain>test.local</Domain>
    <Environment>development</Environment>
  </General>
  <Users>
    <User1>John Doe</User1>
    <User2>Jane Doe</User2>
  </Users>
  <Groups>
    <Group1>Developers</Group1>
    <Group2>Managers</Group2>
  </Groups>
</configuration>

Create a powershellscript with the following content and save it in the same folder:

$ScriptPath = Split-Path -parent $PSCommandPath
$ConfigFile = "$ScriptPath\config.xml"

$ConfigFileExists = Test-Path $ConfigFile
If ($ConfigFileExists -eq $False)
{
	write-host -f red "Configfile $ConfigFile does not exist!"
	exit
}

[xml]$Config = (Get-Content $ConfigFile)
$Domain  = $Config.Configuration.General.Domain
$Environment  = $Config.Configuration.General.Environment
$User1  = $Config.Configuration.Users.User1
$User2  = $Config.Configuration.Users.User2
$Group1  = $Config.Configuration.Groups.Group1
$Group2  = $Config.Configuration.Groups.Group2

$Domain
$Environment
$User1
$User2
$Group1
$Group2

If you run the powershellscript the output is
test.local
development
John Doe
Jane Doe
Developers
Managers
