Allow Dialin via script

I'm trying to simplify a load of AD admin tasks using vbscripts. One of
these tasks is allowing (or denying) dialup. I have found the
msNPAllowDialin AD attribute but looking at the schema - see the link at
the bottom of the post - it looks like I should be using something else. The
preferred admin interface (found by following the link) seems to be via a
RASadmin dll using C, which is way out of my league (to be honest, I'm
fairly new to scripting).

Is there an approved simple way to allow/deny ras access via vbscript? Or do
I have to bodge it and set msNPAllowDialin to True or False directly?

Cheers
Azi

Here is a bit of over kill but should contain your answer:
