An interesting approach. When I worked at a university and had 100+ machines to handle (back in the WinXP days), we just used udpcast + sysprep to do full disk cloning. We never bothered with individual machines, if anything ever went wrong

Mazda's 2.0 Gasoline Skyactiv is sold as both 120 and 165 HP. Same engine, same brakes, same clutch, different ecu mapping. The only mechanical difference is the gear box's final drive ratio (the 120's has longer gears for be
