Hi all!<br />
<br />
I was wondering if there was a way I good sit up a domain desktop machine, have all the configs set, then image to another identical desktop. Here's the the tricky bit (well for me) I would like those other machines also to be put on the domain but have different computer names . Obviously to avoid conflicts.<br />
<br />
I'm having a small roll-out in my company but do not have the facilities of SCCM or anything pricey. So looking for free alternative methods. I heard WDS may be a good way?<br />
<br />
Would someone be able to put me into the right direction?

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
