Do you image them remotely with ARD admin?

I am managing servers via Casper. 


I have created an OS package/image using Composer after installing Mac
OS X Server, but before configuring any services. 



I change the serial number and network settings via serversetup ( found
at /System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup) and networksetup scripts.

I know this has been asked before but I am looking at different methods
of installing OS X server at our work.  It seems like one of the ways
that on paper may work the best is just creating an image of the
installer DVD and then using the bless command to have the servers
netboot to that image and installing it over ARD admin. 


Anyone done this?  Are you using casper?  How do you handle post image
configurations and license serial numbers for the OS X Server? 


thanks
