it is very simple. just install the os and all the drivers in one system and make a ghost image using norton ghost and restore it in remaining 49 systems. restoring a ghost takes 5-6 mins while os and drivers will take more than one hour for each.

This depends on your operating system and target hardware.


If you are deploying XP then you are bound by the hardware, and are required to make an image of the OS, using ghost or another image capture software. If all of the hardware is the same you can make one image. Otherwise you will need to make specific images for each hardware type.

If you are installing Vista or Win7 you can instead using the Windows Deployment Services to make this easier and hardware agnostic. This requires the install image to be loaded to WDS first. Additionally you can setup the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), to do post OS software installations and windows updates. You can even have the machines individually named and placed in the correct OU of a domain, and configure most options of the newer Vista and Win7 feature set.

If you are deploying Linux, you might want to use a Kickstart server and kickstart configuration to configure all aspects of the installation, as well as additional software installs and updates.
