5 computer with same software setup

[shopper150]

I'm looking to setup 5 computers with exactly the same software setup for a small business.

Can anyone advise what the simplest way of doing this is? I assume it's to set up one computer as per spec and then take an image and restore this image across the other machines?

The operating system will be Win 7.

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm knowledge is fairly OK with general computing etc but not really that experienced on the 'enterprise' arena.

If you get Windows 7 Professional this has a built in imaging utility for this purpose. You basically make an image backup. Then restore it on other systems.
