I currently have a license for VMware 6.5.

An issue I've faced with using a snapshot or "base" images, is that SharePoint machine cannot be easily renamed (which is necessary if I want to have them connected to the network). Although I can use NAT mode, I'd prefer the ability to have unique virtual machines that can work in Bridged mode. I apologize for not mentioning this requirement.

Using sysprep (only compatible with SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2), requires manual steps of finishing the installations (through GUI or Powershell).

Ideally I'd want to be able to get 2 VMs with different server names and SIDS with, for instance, Windows 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2, SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010 and other small applications with a single click (to run a script).

How can I fully automate the creation and configuration of a SharePoint virtual machine?
In the original series, how many shuttlecraft made up the normal complement aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701? The numbering convention I found on Memory Alpha goes up to NCC-1701/12, listing both active and destroyed, with the Galileo accounting for 3 of the 10 shown. How many were supposed to be onboard?
