What is a good OS for a render server? Windows x64 or Vista 64 bit Ultimate?

Win2003 x64 :wink:

There are various methods with varying manual intervention needed.

You can do Unattended install CDs for example. I’d suggest googling for unattended installs and you’ll get a lot of resources for both local unattendet uinstalls and network installs.
