Hardening Windows Machine

Dear Community,

I have a question, for example we use to do like OOBE and clone harddisk for similar Laptops/desktops after we created a master copy by first Hardening the Windows machine, example like turning the system restore on, setting it to 10%, set windows update to download only, create 2 administrators account and add those accounts to local administrator group and misc stuffs like that. We all know this can be done via OOBE and cloning and answer.xml

But is there a way to do this over many machines without cloning as we are using different brands of machines. Like for example running a script or powershell, or so..

Any input would be helpful! Thank you! =)

Kace K2000 will do that.

If you need to do manually

Sysprep your master
cast that to your target machines.
boot with a WinPE boot stick and use DISM to inject the proper drivers for that model
post sysprep.
