Recently I had to re-install and configure a bunch of software on 20ish machines.
All I had to type during the install was the hostname, and powershell scripts did the rest (granted, those powershell scripts contained all the bullshit to get windows to actually behave and work like a proper OS).
Uhhhh, are you not getting enterprise windows or whatever version is needed to be added to active directory?
I set up quite a few computers for my last job and I just had to click the thing saying I was adding the computer to a domain and then I skipped the microslop account.
