You should be able to use SYSPREP in combination with a third-party program
like Ghost to do this (Ghost does the "cloning"). SYSPREP is free from MS
and strips out the unique identifiers in each Windows installation - it can
be downloaded from:

(if that link breaks go to MS's download page).
Ghost is a Symantec program:
