I've just deployed this, in a startup script, to just under 800 workstations that had A01 on in preparation for our Vista rollout.

Sure, I used WMI through a VBS - added in Group Policy as a startup script, which runs in administrative context...

(I've quickly hacked out the relevant bits from the script I use for BIOS config...)
