Note, you can have an "Admin Install UI" that shows up when the admin creates 
the network image and you can specify "Admin Properties" that are persisted 
during that process.  That can be used, for example, to have the Admin accept 
the EULA and have the act of accepting the EULA stored in the network image.

There is a lot to Group Policy deployment that is *way* beyond the scope of the 
WiX toolset.  I suggest finding some good documentation/whitepapers on the 
Group Policy deployment topic and reading for a while.  I remember there being 
a lot to Group Policy deployment back when I worked on Office.

For a per-machine installation via group policies, only the
InstallExecuteSequence is run. By default, it uses the values of properties
specified in the property table and it installs features depending on the
"level" of the feature.
You can simulate this by running "msiexec /qn Package.msi". Note however,
that during group policy installation, the package has no access to any
user-profile data.

If you want a customized group policy installation, you need to assign a
transform file (.mst) to the group policy object. The MST-file is then
applied "on-the-fly" during installation of the package to change/add/remove
some properties. For instance, the transform could supply the ADDLOCAL
property to specify which features to install.
Look in MSDN how transforms are created.
