Long time users of MDT will most likely be aware of the ModelAliasExit.vbs script.
The Deployment Bunny has several articles on the script and download links to the script:

There have been several updates to the script in it's lifetime. However it seems that the definitive version of the script has been frozen at 1.0.4 for a few years now. However this version has a serious issue in IMHO when it comes to Lenovo Models. Between the 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 versions of the script line 143 was commented out. This has the effect of not pulling the friendly model name for Lenovo machines. It more or less forces the user MDT Admin using it to have to create an aliasing table for Lenovo models by hand.
I am not one to generally second guess the creators of such scripts. However I truly do not understand the logic of what was done. However every time someone mentions the script I feel the need to make mention of the problem with Lenovo models.
So let this post serve two purposes:
1. Give me someplace where I've already documented the problem to point people to when I see such mentions of the script.
2. Provide a location they can get what I consider to be a corrected version of the script.
ModelAliasExit 1.0.5
