You can actually use SCCM as we old people used Norton Ghost  (unfortunately Symantec later on) console once upon a time: make an image of a reference machine and deploy captured image on the same or similar model with all programs, settings and ready-to-use accounts. You can even download my Powershell script which will do the same things as the GhostWalker did long time ago (except changing computers SID, newer Windows will do it automatically). The script will change computer name offline before it boots up for the first time. Do you remember this beauty? I could reinstall 120 (I never tested 254) school computers all at once under 15 minutes! The power of MULTICAST! A difference between standard SCCM deployment and this approach is in the type of capture: WIM type of image are just like usual Windows OS install type: small in size, deduplicated, not emulating disk placement, similar to a simple ZIP-file that expands to the free partition and gets some boot commands at the end.
