'
' Purpose: To provide a method for entering data that the OSD process will use
' to customize the OSD process. Specifically this will provide:
' 1. Automated and custom computer naming.
' 2. User name to add to local admin group
' 3. Location choice which will determine the AD OU utilized.
' 4. Ability to install Role Based apps
' 5. Ability to remove Role Based Apps
'
' Assumptions: 1. Automated computer name is based off of the BIOS S/N. The BIOS
' field used below is valid for Lenovo workstations.
' 2. Windows PE must have HTA and ADO support. This is most easily
' accomplished by using MDT integration to create a new boot image.
'
' Acknowledgements: I am indebted to Johan Arwidmark and Neil Peterson for their blog
' posts about Front End HTA scripts. I learned from them and massaged
' some of their code in creating this script. It is impossible for me
' in hindsight to determine which portions are my own creation and which
' are primarily theirs.
'
'***********************************************************
' General Flow:
' * Initial HTA will need to have the "Computer Name" button pressed to query WMI for the automated computer name.
' * If a computer name is entered, the suggested name (created with the button) is ignored.
' * The computer name is placed in the OSDComputerName TS variable.
' * The location drop down is used to set the value of the OSDDomainOUName variable.
' * The Role Based App checkboxes sets the value of variables to either true or false. These values are used
' * on the "Options" tab of "Install Software" task sequences to determine whether to execute or not.
' * The value of OSDUserName is used by the back end script to add the indicated user to the local admin group on the workstation.
