I use Symantec's Ghost for such things. Ghost makes a binary image of a workstation drive that can be quickly reapplied to the drive. Install a reference machine with the OS, patches, and all desired software. Use Win2K's SysPrep.exe prior to making the Ghost image to allow Windows to run a mini-setup program when the image is reapplied. Run Ghost to make the image(s) which can then be stored on a server or burned onto CD(s). Reinstalls take minutes instead of hours.
