James, Thanks for your input, I figured that would have to be the route I will have to take. When I get this done I'll paste my results to the list so that others may benefit :-)

If your computers are all under group policy then create a boot script (vbs would be fine) that does the following: . Check for a stamp file and exit if present . read the config file in line by line. . substitute the relevant tokens (computer name, password, director, etc) . write each line out to a new file . rename the old file out of the way . rename the new file to the old file . create a stamp file so that you know it's already been done If WiX could be made to build Windows installers under Linux it would be really nice!!!
