Answer #5

i think its related to windows server editions only not to xp or 7
Answer #6
When you are done installing everything , use a cloning application (e.g norton ghost) to clone the hdd.
I think Windows Deployment Services is for all editions but its not very easy to configure.
Check out network booting too. I still think the cloning would save more time.
If your partition does not exceed 8 gb isnatll hiren boot cd on a NTFS formatted USB drive and then use norton ghost or other tools in the hiren boot cd to create an image of the particion (on the fresh installed pc) and then restore that image on the other pcs.
If they are connected to a network you have to do little changes , like ip configuration network names etc.
