Abstract: The present invention provides a method, a system and a computer program product for capturing administrative processes in a machine-readable format, and for automating the execution of the captured administrative processes. An administrative process comprises administrative tasks, which, in turn, comprise administrative commands that need to be performed, to execute the administrative process. All the administrative commands are captured in a machine-readable format using a generic command framework, to form profiles. The execution of the captured administrative processes is automated by performing the following steps: selecting profiles that need to processed for the execution of a selected administrative process; processing the selected profiles; updating the processed profiles; processing the updated profiles again, if required; and selecting and processing additional profiles which need to be processed to execute the selected administrative process.
