I recommend you spend an hour or two looking at MDT 2010 Update 1 in detail (MDT - Microsoft Deployment Toolkit).
Not only will it do everything you want (and then some) - it's free. Regards, Michael B.

I want to get all of them up to Win7 Enterprise, and thought I had read somewhere that it was just a matter of a key update. I can't find any documentation on that, however, and our vendor rep pointed me at this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772579%28WS.10%29.aspx So, for those of you who know about this kind of thing, what would you do? Right now I'm contemplating either something like this: http://laplink.com/pcmover or just doing an Anytime upgrade to Ultimate, and calling it good, because the lease will run out before the OS EOLs. Anyone have better thoughts on this?
