PXE is the "Cadillac" solution which can offer a truly zero-touch O/S install to hundreds of clients and the preferred method of any lazy admin. Pre-Stage boots the client into a mode where it can download the install media if PXE is not available. Bootable Media is for clients that are not connected to the network and the pre-state/OS is available on removable media. You should try Bing.

Have you looked into Direct Access?

Yesh, what is the way to go as many are exe's...

Stupid questions: So if we create an automatic task to deploy the fat Tuesday updates every month, how will you catch the updates from previous months since the OSD image was created retroactively? It seems to me it would only deploy the current month. Also, you have it configured to deploy all of the updates for Windows 7 in your example, but does that cover all of the MS products that may be in your environment or do you have to create separate product tasks? Thanks!
