Enable Run from distribution point

This custom task sequence can be used in the following instances:

In conjunction with the pre-stage content using Nomad action to avoid making a local copy of the Nomad share.
It is used during the provisioning phase, prior to any package being installed, to enable classic packages to run from the DP. This is so that SMSNomad.exe can be used as an alternative download provider during OSD.

When the Run from distribution point property is no longer required, remove it using the Disable Run from distribution point custom task sequence.
