SmartStart Scripting Toolkit

The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit is a set of Microsoft MS-DOS-based utilities
that enables you to configure and deploy servers in a customized, predictable,
and unattended manner. These utilities provide scripted server and array
replication for mass server deployment and duplicate the configuration of a
source server onto target systems with minimum user interaction.
