Within Configuration Management scripts the dollar sign, '

#39;, is a reserved character required for use in variable references. If a script requires the use of a dollar sign outside of the variable reference it may be escaped with an additional dollar sign.

For example to write the Password 'pa$word' you would escape the two dollar signs with additional dollar signs: 'pa$$word'

Note: To avoid erroneous dollar sign variable references, Configuration Management allows a single unescaped dollar sign when not followed by an open parentheses "$(". A line containing "thi
quot; would pass without needing to be escaped. Whereas the line "thi$(" would require the dollar sign be escaped "thi$(".

Use the table below as an illustration of how many

#39;s you must enter in Configuration Management to achieve the appropriate number of
#39;s in a script command.

To achieve x # of
