I'm planning on building some replacement desktops for our office here. The
hardware I'm buying will be exactly the same on all the pc's. What I'd like
to do is build one, install windows, update it, install network printers
etc. Then clone the drive a few times and build the other pcs.
I had done this once before with Windows 98 but since there wasn't any
activation back there was no problem. Now with activation though I need to
know how to do this. We will of course have valid licenses for each pc, I
just don't want to take an hour installing, patching and configuring each
pc. I'll be installing XP Pro
