Thanks Michael.
Is the scanner that its using VPSCAN.exe, or something else? Can
it scan a network drive (mapped to drive 'K:' for example)? Can it
save its results to a text log or similar?

I'd like to experiment with the scanner itself before going into
BartPE territory, which I have no experience in yet. Can you point me
to details on the scanner?

Thanks
