I'm currently about to build a large number of identical Windows XP based systems to be sold to a number of different clients. I've been looking for ways of saving myself from having to specify all the various settings for each one and came across the guide for Unattended Installations. This appears to be what I'm looking for, except that it seems to imply that Windows should be installed from the same disc each time. This doesn't seem possible since each machine will have to have its own Windows license and product key, unless of course it's perfectly acceptable to install the same copy of Windows on a large number of machines, which I really doubt. Perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree, in which case is there an alternative method to have all the windows settings carried over from an existing machine to a new one? The windows unattended installation seems to be missing a fair few options, such as fully customisable regional settings, power settings, display font size settings and a few other things which are part of the spec to which I need to adhere. On the other hand, this Unattended Installation method does seem very useful, especially the part about installing drivers and software automatically. I'm still not clear as to how that should work though, is the idea that you store all the setup files and driver files on some central folder that can be browsed to across the network from the new machine once windows is installed? But that wouldn't work because you'd need the ethernet controller drivers on the machine, and those come from the motherboard CD, not the Windows CD. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
