I am currently trying to make a script that pulls the ComputerDescription variable from MDT.  Right now I am at a loss on how to do this. 

I modified the DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml to show "Computer Description" under the Computer Name window.  Now the Variable.dat has the COMPUTERDESCRIPTION variable set correctly.  How do I pull this variable into a VBScript?  I'm pretty sure if I found the function to pull varialbes from MDT, I could get it to write the computer description to the registry, and everything would work.

The following might work:
Set oEnvironment = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
sDescription = oEnvironment("COMPUTERDESCRIPTION")


There was a similar discussion about this here:http://www.deploymentforum.com/Community/Forums/tabid/124/forumid/16/postid/1217/view/topic/Default.aspx
