Hello.
I've got 20 stations at my cyber caffe (with the same hardware
configuration) and it take a lot of time to ie. install WinXP on each
station.
I've got also Windows 2003 server.
Q:
Is there any way to install WindowsXP automaticly using LAN?
I don't have corportate wersion of WinXP. it's WinXP Pro SP2

Sure, with RIS:

However, if all the workstations are identical, with so few machines it
will be easier to simply set one up perfectly and image it. Then apply
the image to the other 19 machines.

Acronis even has an enterprise add-on that allows you to image to
workstations with different hardware.
