What Options are Available for an Unattended Windows Installation?


hello all,
i work in data center , changing many things @ beginning of year increase business. increase work load of course. researching ways can deploy windows server 2003 , 2008 r2 unattended updates, service packs , possibly php , mail server. without having learn write perl [it seems  most of unattended stuff perl]. i've used nlite in past slipstream install cd 2003 standard service packs , helps time install seems slipstreaming of updates isn't functional.
anyways, know options on how achieve above? great if there's tool can configure, pxe boot it, choose 2003 standard sp2 list , installs image created,  configured , maintained updates, etc. ideas?

you in luck; in general solution looking free , solution accelerator called "microsoft deployment toolkit 2010 update 1". automates of deployment challenges. it's referred "litetouch", meaning boot dvd or windows deployment server , select task sequence or operating system wish deploy. handles creation of unattends (xml) newer operating systems , driver management. recommend setting using few virtual machines in test environment hang of it. there many videos etc. on web documentation learning curve.
