Here is a script that I modified to remove bloatware from new HP machines and to setup a few simple items like network discovery. If someone can modify this to work as a procedure go for it. Currently it is NOT fully tested. I don’t have time to finish it up right now but I think it would be beneficial to the group it someone could work the bugs out:

if “%2”==“firstrun” exit
cmd /c “%0” null firstrun

if ‘%errorlevel%’ == ‘0’ ( goto gotPrivileges ) else ( goto getPrivileges )
:getPrivileges
if ‘%1’==‘ELEV’ (shift & goto gotPrivileges)
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
set “batchPath=%~0”
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
ECHO Set UAC = CreateObject^(“Shell.Application”^) > “%temp%\OEgetPrivileges.vbs”
ECHO UAC.ShellExecute “!batchPath!”, “ELEV”, “”, “runas”, 1 >> “%temp%\OEgetPrivileges.vbs”

exit /B
