Hello,
I am about to start looking into server 2008 deployment.... will be adding
2008 images into an existing image deployment system (MDT + WDS) and I first
want to find out about automation options for adding features and/or roles
to a base 2008 installation... eg. I would like to add an option to my
existing system where the user can check off various boxes, like IIS, to
include those components in the deployment.

could somone point me in the right direction? or give some examples or
experiences of their own on this?

random thoughts/questions on the subject:
1. do component options need to go in sysprep answer file, or could they be
added via script after image deployment?
2. can do with vbscript/wsh?
3. can do with powershell?
