Windows Deployment Services (WDS) and the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) are the generally accepted answers for most circumstances. Both are available with Microsoft Server 2003 (SP2) or newer. If you're a larger entity and would also like to bundle update services and other features, System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is an excellent choice, although fairly expensive.
