		<description>Howdy,

Great script! Works awesome! I am just curious if there is a way to have the Domain Password field show as asteriks or some other character when you type it rather than plain text or will this cause issues when it writes the data to the unattend file? 

Specifically, put in the (or some variant as needed):

Private Sub Form_Load()
 Text1.PasswordChar = &quot;*&quot; &#039; :wave:
End Sub 

That possible?</description>

		<description>Excellent observation.
Good catch!
This is really necessary to generate a heavy curl-loader traffic.


Thank you very much!

		<description>That last post was an HTA file, the &lt;code&gt; tags didnt work at this site stripped out all the tags. The post can be viewed in a better format at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistadeployment/thread/2d03e17d-c2ea-4d19-bf32-7db2e9975251/

Look for string objCompDeploy</description>

		<description>We investigated using this solution however as we ran into problems with getting it to gather the systems serial number as WMI is not active when the script runs.

We eventually settled on creating series of scripts utilizing imagex and Windows PE in order to deploy our image (Rather than WDS) as it provided greater flexibility and we could utilize WMI to get a serial number and dump it into our unattend file.</description>
