I'm configuring my first WDS and I want to know what are the best ways to go about imaging workstations. I really only have one question.

Should I have one image (golden image) and just inject the image with all multiple drivers that will support different workstation and laptop models. Or should I have multiple images for each model workstation? It looks like you can do it either or.

I'm asking because I'm running into some issues using just one image and injecting all the drivers into it. Even though I installed all the drivers, I receive error message stating I'm missing drivers for the install to finish. It will go all the way through and at the last moment will error out.... The image was created with a Dell Latitude 7480 and I tried reimaging a Dell Latitude 5520 with that same image. I have all the drivers for the Latitude 5520 inject into the image, however I still receive the error message.
