1. Take on PC and install windows, install all software needed.
sysprep /generalize /shutdown
Power up one of various imaging software. Make image and restore that image to all PC's.
2. Use scripting.
3. Build image using windows tools. WindowsPE image builder.
4. Use WDS.
5. Deploy software from AD with GPO.

edit: Google for unattended installation options for various software. Most likely you'll find working scripts or silent installs.

Many commercial/enterprise software (especially if they have Linux versions) have command line install options....

AutoIt is really becoming a (single threaded) programming language of its own. I could paste an example here of things I have wrote in it to give you an idea of what can be done with it. Such as here is the source for my old byte patcher.
Code:
#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 AutoIt Version: 3.3.6.1
 Author:         myName
 Script Function:
        Template AutoIt script.
#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like said, it's hard to explain how much can be done in it. If the language itself doesn't support what your looking to do, there is an entire database of UDF's you can use. Plus you can call functions in dynamic linked library's for even further capabilities (this is usually done for tasks that require speed). The possibilities are endless, plus VB Script doesn't support the same checks. If something goes horribly wrong during the mass deployment you're going to wish you had proper error handling to fall back on.

Interesting, thank you smile.gif

It's not my cup of tea personally (though that's largely because I'm a UNIX admin these days) but I can see the power in it and how it makes life easier. Thanks for taking the time to explain though smile.gif
