Pretty Good Frontend Revisited for LTI

The last few days i've been messing around with an MDT 2008 environment in which the customer wanted to have some kind of wizard page when a computer was being deployed that was not already in the database. I remembered the Pretty Good Frontend by Johan Arwidmark which was an awesome discovery back when we were still using BDD2007. My customer however didn't have ZTI but LTI deployment going on, so I had to customize Johan's Pretty Good Frontend to my customer's needs. So why not share it with the community?

Many thanks go to Johan Arwidmark for inventing the PGF in the first place, and Michael Niehaus who helped me solve a scripting issue

Allright here goes:

Features
- Only appears if computer is not in the MDT Database already
- Allows for entering a computer name
- Allows for Selecting target OU (Selection list is from live Actice Directory data)
- Allows for role selection (Selection list is from live MDT database)
- Configured from rules in bootstrap.ini, no hardcoded values in the Frontend
- Started as a userexit (no scripts on the winpe image)
- Checkboxes to select which data to store in the database
