Netboot requires Mac OS X Server, and besides, only OS X 10.2 can netboot.

Doing what you ask, ramberk, absolutely, positively, no-way-around-it, requires a server, and in this case, it'd have to be an OS X Server (OS X Server can run off an NT server, but not the client). However, at least in Mac OS X 10.1.5 and lower, there is a bug in Netinfo (which is responsible for user accounts) that causes the computer to crash frequently (with a kernel panic) when logged in with a network user, making it very unreliable to work on. I'd say to wait until it's known whether OS X Server 10.2 with 10.2 clients fixes this problem.

In the mean time, look at programs like MacAdministrator and the like.
