That's my understanding as well Al. When we first looked into doing this (because DHCP does seem like the logical place to do this) I think we discovered that we could set that option using 3rd party DHCP servers as they had that feature active and working, but we never got it working with Windows boxes.
I should note though that we never tested the 3rd party DHCP servers, we just went the DHCP and script route that deji already mentioned.
