How to push image with WDS or MDT like Ghost Solutions

Is there a way to push a reference image to a workstation like Symantec Ghost Solutions Suite?

I have WDS and MDT but I can't seem to find a way to push an image without having to touch the remote workstation. For example, GSS has a console.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Oh wow. I would definitely want to use SCCM; never thought about it.

Is there a way to run the script thats point to the litetouch.vbs on the workstations which in turn forces the machine to reboot and install the image?

I don't know much but I'm just trying to think outside the box to avoid spending $$ on SCCM

Thanks again!

Honestly, I'm not sure... if you get creative... maybe there's a way... but the problem I see is that the system has to be configured to book off the network to force it to do that... and I don't see how you'd do that in an automated way...  Keep in mind, MS offers EXTREMELY powerful deployment tools for free.. the one catch (as I see it), if you want ZERO interaction with the PCs, they want you to pay for THAT.
