Hi

Im looking at designing a new Citrix Presentation Server 4 farm and wish to automate as much as possible. I was originally going to use Ghost but am now looking at the following:

- Scripting the OS (Windows 2003 R2) - unattend.txt or equivalent
- Scripting Citrix Presentation Server 4
- Automate Installation Manager so it installs base applications on the new server
- Server tweaks / customisations


Is this possible? I basically want a process where I can set and forget - come back 2 hours later to a server that is ready to go. Im aiming for total automation but I know its probably not possible. If I can automate the OS + Citrix then I'll be happy. Id like a process I can give to any technician and guarantee the same server config.

Are there any sites that assist with the scripting required to do this as I cant script very well... Does anyone have any intelligent scripts they are happy to share?

Any help appreciated

Thanks
