Parallels Desktop 11 - script for VM deployment policy to force Bridge mode

[donmontalvo]

Thanks to @Peterson at Parallels, we have an "After" script we can push with VMs that set them to Bridge mode.

This prevents computers from showing up twice in JSS due to Shared (NAT) mode, where UDID of host is reported to the JSS by the VM (duplicate computer records hell).

Maybe we'll get a KB from Parallels for the holidays? :)

HTH,
Don
