Windows NT and newer supported unattended installs of both the OS and other software you wanted installed automatically. Not as fast as imaging, but equivalent of a manual install, just without any manual work.
That’s how we handled 100s of machines with an IT dept of just 3-4 techies at the uni I worked for.
And we loathed people who came with non-standard HW our custom boot disks didn’t handle (remember that even being a thing?).
Things have certainly changed and IMO mostly for the better.
