Ok so here are the basics of what I'd like to accomplish:
1. Take a new computer (XP preloaded) and install all the necessary applications on it.
2. Make an image of the disk with those software installations.
3. Replicate the image of the software installations on 80+ new computers.
Since each XP install has its own unique OEM number, I don't want to replace the entire XP OS on each system, just the additional software installations. That way I don't have to install apps one-by-one on each new system. I realize that I'd need to customize the apps on each machine with unique licensing information, etc. Anyhow, this might be wishful thinking but I thought I'd throw it out there in case someone knows of something.
