Hello Nithin,

I will update the documentation as soon as I can. Also I need to add the visualddk flag explanation.

Thanks,
Alin.

Thanks Alin. I tested this script and it works!

It would be great if we can document the usage in INSTALL.Windows - both for one vNIC case and 2 vNIC case. It does not have to be part of this checkin.
