1. AUTOENTER is a new feature in Win2003. If you're using Win2K, you can
restrict the user from accessing specific OS image, please refer to
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/howto/remoteos.mspx,
search for the topic "Restricting OS Image Options", it shows complete
instruction on how to implement that.

2. For me, I will "Pre-stage" the machines in different OU first before
actual deployment using it's GUID. Then associate additional machine
startup script to configure the DHCP option class using IPCONFIG /setclassid
option, to deliver different TCP/IP setting to different client. Please
refer to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;235272 for
how to configure DHCP class ID.
