Deployment Validation Tool (Auto Answering Agent - updated)

To begin with I’ve been getting a lot of hits on my blog about the DVT tool which is good, the downside is not all have been successful with installing and configuring it.  So I’ve decided to go ahead and update the blog with more screen pics. 

You might be saying, more screen pics, you didn’t have any screen pics before, well lets not dwell on that part but let’s look at the glass half full and see if this blog that’s been revived with screenshots that i created in my lab this morning don’t help out more people with the ability to call Rita successfully.

As you begin the installation of the deployment validation tool, you should see the following screenshots…
