I remember years back one of the Windows nuts in the office devised or maybe revised a way of installing windows NT onto multiple machines.

Scenario...

New machine arrives in the office.

He throws in a floppy which PXE boots and installs a windows drive image.

Post installation he throws on the reg key, machine name and possibly a mac address rename ? If I recall the only snag with this technique is that it required the hardware to be exactly the same.

Is something simple like this possible on Windows XP ?
