  USERS AFFECTED:
  Anyone using dscc with muliple selected objects and the /qspa
  option
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  using dscc /qs /qspa resulted in duplicate items being added to
  the collection of objects to be provisioned. This caused an
  unhandled VB error which then caused a Access Violation error
  inthe C++ code.

Problem conclusion

• Fixed VB error handling to prevent the AccessViolation
  dscc /qs/qspa also had the annoying behavior of prompting the
  user to click on OK after each object had been provisioned so
  wefixed this at the same time.
