ESXi provisioning and customization have hundreds to do

I am looking on the best way to setup a provisioning network and install hundreds of ESXi installs.

I have iDRAC which I complete all my installs.

I am building 50 ESXi Servers or more a week, and its getting old.

Is there a way to plug and play and let it provision on its own.

Either script or cfg file or etc. and best way to make a provisioning network.

Perhaps with PXE/DHCP
Also I have a custom iDRACK.ISO that we configure the servers with - Can this be automated..
However the ESXi Install is my main concern on automation..

So during install I need these configured as well.

      IP
      Netmask
      Gateway
      VLAN

IPV6 disabled

      e.      Security > Forged Transmits: Accept
      f.      Traffic Shaping: Status to Disabled
      g.      NIC Teaming: Leave Policy Exceptions to default, ensure that both of the vmnic's are set to active


dvSWITCH configuration other VLANS
      Create Folder - Label xxx-xxx(x)     xxx- Site   -xxx - Group
      Create dvSWITCH using above for each - Label above = xxx-xxx(x)-DVS1
      Greate port group for each
            iSCSI x2
                        a.      ISCSI1: Uplink1 Active, Uplink2 Unused
                        b.      ISCSI2: Uplink2 Active, Uplink1 Unused
            vMOTION x2  (is it best to have 2 vmotion ports) one active one standby and visa versa
                        c.      vMotion1: Uplink1 Active, Uplink2 Unused
                        d.      vMotion2: Uplink2 Active, Uplink1 Unused


            Port group naming sheme i.e
                  Storageheart-beat-VLANxxx-10.xx.x.0/24
                  vMOTION-VLANxxx-10.xx.x.0/24

SETUP/ADD to DVSWITCH /VMKERNEL
