Set Local Admin Password During OSD TS

[bonVoyage]

I have a MDT Task Sequence that deploys Windows 10.

I am trying to set the windows built in local administrator password during the OSD Task Sequence.

To make this a bit complex I have an exe that I pass the computer name to, which generates a password.

I want to take this and set it as the local admin password.

I have tried to set it through PowerShell using the OSD TS Variable:

$LocalAdminPass = & .\Password.exe $env:COMPUTERNAME | Out-String
$TSEnv = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment
$TSEnv.Value("OSDLocalAdminPassword") = "$LocalAdminPass"

This does not work.

Any suggestions?
