It also depends on what you're building. The MSBuild SDC Task library has a couple of special tasks. For example, for AD, BizTalk, etc.
There are over 300 tasks included in
this library including tasks for:
creating websites, creating
application pools, creating
ActiveDirectory users, running FxCop,
configuring virtual servers, creating
zip files, configuring COM+, creating
folder shares, installing into the
GAC, configuring SQL Server,
configuring BizTalk 2004 and BizTalk
2006, etc.
