  I think this site gives you a myriad of options on how to deploy Windows XP:

  One of the methods is RIS - Remote installation services - and here is a page on how to set that up for Windows 2000 (the steps were pretty much the same with 2003 - only there was a great deal more driver support).

   

  Here is the link (there is a step by step link on this page) for the Windows Deployment Services for Windows Server 2008:

  This should also allow you to deploy Windows XP in the way you are looking ot do.

   

  Luck,

  Thank you very much,
  
  I've been able to complete the installation of XP successfully.
  
  But how can I avoid Lite Touch Installation asking me for domain credentials to connect to the share?
  
  Thanks indeed

  Honestly, I think the big "Zero Touch" solution is going to be BDD and SMS:
