ADS to deploy Windows XP?

I have to admit, I'd never thought of this one. Yes, I've looked into using ADS (Automated Deployment Services) for deploying Windows Server 2003 and use it as part of the Virtual Server Migration Toolkit (VSMT) solution but never thought of using it to deploy Windows XP. Unsupported it may be, but Mark has some great info on how to go about solving some of the problems.

    I used ADS several times to rollout XP Images. IN my point of view the advantage over RIS is, that you can have one image which can be delivered via multicast... But as you already mentioned - it's not supported...
