Hi Tim,

You could use the OS Deployment Image Installation CD Wizard. This allows
you to select a script - which defines which OS Package to install from a
Distribution point. To create the CD open the wizard and select
"Automatically choose the Operating System Package to install by running a
custom program or script" and select "Allow installation from SMS
Distribution Points" then choose the OS Package. The next screen allows you
to select a script or program (see below), add any credentials needed to
read the script from it's network location and then complete the wizard.

The script would look similar to this sample:
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

objShell.run "osdenv.exe OSDNEWMACHINENAME=Computer1" - this is optional for
the computer name, you can remove it

objShell.run "osdenv.exe OSDINSTALLPACKAGE=SMS00001" - this is the OS
package ID you can view by selecting Image Packages in the SMS Admin UI

objShell.run "osdenv.exe OSDINSTALLPROGRAM=WindowsXPSp2" - this is the name
of the OS Program as entered by the user

objShell.run "osdenv.exe OSDINSTALLSILENT=1" - this option hides the UI. You
can remove it.

Hope this helps. If this doesn't address your issue please let me know.

Regards,

Bob
