I have a similar question and didn't want to start a new thread:

I have 40 identical Dell computers running XP and Office 2003 that I have to
install.
Is there a way to setup one machine, image it and then restore the image to
the 39 other machines with corresponding unique key for XP and Office.

Thank you.

Eric.
