Citrix Windows 8 and Server 2012 Optimization script

' Title:         Windows 8 and Server 2012 VDI Optimization Script
' Author:        Pablo Legorreta
' Modifications: Steven Krueger & William Elvington
'
' Special thanks to Jonathan Bennett (AutoITScript) 
' for creating a wonderful optimizer tool and to Jeff Stokes (MSFT) 
' for creating the original baseline script for Windows 7

'
' Purpose:       The following script will prepare a Windows 8 or Server 2012 
'                static image for VDI deployment based on MSFT and Citrix recommendations.

' Requirements:  Administrative Privileges, Registry backup - Just in case ;)
