I routinely use unattended to install an application set onto new OEM windows
PC's. I've got a batch file that I keep on a USB drive. It makes the netinst and
netinst/logs directories, maps z: to my unattended server, runs the perl.bat
from the scripts directory then runs todo.pl to queue my application scripts.
I've also modified todo.pl to copy the permcred.bat file to the workstation.
I've also manually created the directories, mapped the drive, installed perl and
installed a single app or a handfull of apps on computers that were around
before I started using unattended.

This depends only on your server. If it is capable to serve 50
simultaneous, Unattended will do. If you use an old pentium server,
you will have trouble to serve more than one clients at a time.

You can add software packages to clients if they have been installed
with unattended once. Just have a look to the mailing list archive,
this is currently been discussed.
