Script for deploying Nano Server (TP5)

There are plenty of scripts around that helps deploying Nano server. But there seems to be issues between the various TPs, I had trouble with a script that worked for TP4 but not at all for TP5.

So I ended up creating my own. It should just run in one go, but I suggest you take a few lines at at time to sort out any issues.

The script as follows, and found on Technet gallery.
