Customizing the Default User Profile automatically with Configuration Manager

I posted this script some time ago on the myitforum list and I'm just now getting around to blogging about it. I use this script at multiple customers to modify the default user profile without having to copy the administrator profile over the top. This method enables you to add or make changes without having to re-create your image.
