That's what images are used for in the MacSysAdmin world. Take a new 
machine, hose it down (format the drive), then drop your build (the 
image) onto it. Bing. you're up and with minor config changes, you're 
ready to go. It's far easier to build a box this way than to install 
everything (including applications manually). Of course, including 
applications in this scenario would require site licenses.
