I am currently trying to deploy an OS X install to 16 macs from an Xserve running 10.2.8. I have made an image of the computer with all of its software installed and configured. I have made an image of the harddrive with both disk utility and carbon copy cloner. but now what? how do I get the 16 macs to boot up and look to the Xserve? I have seen options to boot and use the disk image I made, instead of a harddrive, but I am lost as to how to install from the Xserve. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

I made my first post about 20 minutes before I left work today. I have not had a chance to try out anything just yet. But I have been reading the white paper Nexus gave me a link to.

Oh I will! I'm exremely excited about doing this. At work(McNeese State University, where I am a student/network administrator), we were strictly a windows shop. I have convinced the C.I.T.O. to let us use a SuSE Linux mail server, Mandrake Linux network storage devices, and my latest effort, a new lab for the visual arts and music departments. Somewhat modest, it is a mixed environment of sixteen macs (dual 1Ghz G4's with a gig and a half of ram), 4 dell P4's w/ Hyperthreading that run office primarily autocad too so the theatre majors can design sets. and abother 4 dell's that run Mandrake Linux with the gimp, openoffice, and a few other "alternative applications". The macs are what really shine though. This is my first jump into the mac world on a professional level and I am more than impressed. oh yeah, the macs all he yamaha syths hooked up to em, sennheiser headphones, digital performer, deck LE, peak LE, flash MX 2004 photoshop, illustrator....they're sweet. Now to just get the rest of the damn lag "ghosted."
I appreciate the help guys.

I love reading "Switch" scenarios.
In a past life I was a NT Admin (not many people know) because now I'm a Java Software Engineer by profession, very anti-Microsoft, Linux advocate, OS X believer, and Perl monkey.
Sometimes, I wish I could go back to my old place of employment (they are still around after 4 years), and help them roll out Linux/OS X solutions to replace their proprietary deployments.
