Ignite has the capability to do this, if you have more than 1 HPUX machine. A "Golden Image" can be created and stored on an Ignite server. This server can then be used to push the image to the target machine. Alternatively, the target machine can be booted using a network reboot(Interrupt the boot process, and choose the network option for the boot source.) Then from the server machine complete the install using the Ignite GUI.

Similar approach for Win2K... run NTbackup for System State to a file, backup the file (weekly mgmt class used, to avoid doing 250 MB for every server every day).
