Daily imaging of a group of PCs

These 20 or so PCs are library PCs that are opened up for visitors,
patients, and physicians. There are times that a physician wants to
install software so I'm unable to just block all software installs.

Of course with everyone installing software and creating local
documents on the desktop the PCs get very messed up very quickly.

So, I have created a Image Package, assigned it to a collection, set
the advertisement to run daily at 06:00 am every day.

My problem though is the workstation gets the mandatory assignment,
runs the initial install, reboots, begins the boot up process then
hangs there saying it can't find the distribution path for the image.

I have tried this various notebooks and desktops and all have the same
problem. Is it not loading the network drivers or not getting a DHCP
address?

Where should I start looking?
