If you need something to deploy multiple OS from an central point in your network have a look at UDA (http://www.ultimatedeployment.org/uda/index.html[/url). It’s a virtual machine you can use in any VMware product (like Workstation / Server/ ESX Server), even Sun VirtualBox. And of course, most important of all, it’s FREE!

Network settings
On the UDA Virtual Machine (guest), set the Network to Host Interface, and create a Network Bridge on the host computer (in this case, Windows Vista). Configure a static IP address as shown below on the Network Bridge.
