I have about 30 laptop computers with XP Pro. I'd like to install the
OS, Office, and other APPs w/out using a specific license key. Then,
make a ghost image of that installation. Later, when a laptop goes bad
(they do all the time) I can ghost the image back, register the
appropriate license key(s) and get started.

Is there such a way for me to install Windows and Office?

Otherwise, I'm forced to ghost each laptop individually.

Thanks!
 
Office ... setup.exe oem=1 ... iirc
Windows ... load them , then run sysprep that you can get off
<cddrive>/support/deploy.cab in XP CD.

re. other apps .. try contacting their vendor. AVG is no go when you sysprep
them, Nero 6 can be installed in trial mode to work as no key.

have fun :)
