Applications, Windows Updates

Question

Added drivers to my boot.wim with WDS. Now I need to configure applications,Windows updates automatically for Windows 7 Pro 64bit Dutch. I don't know if I can do this without MDT,SSCM. 
I found this : 
On your workstation, install Windows 7 operating system and any special software application 
that you need on your system. Download and install critical and security updates from Microsoft 
Update. Make the necessary adjustment on your graphics settings, sounds, date and time. 
Configure other devices such as network inteface card (NIC), printers, etc.
Once your queen workstation is ready for deployment, connect it to your private network where 
your WDS server is connected. Sysprep your PC. Sysprep tool is located in the following folder 
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\.

Hi,
If you don't need to install the image to the end users and only configure the client to boot from network with PXE, there is no need to boot into audit mode.
Audit mode enables OEMs and corporations to customize a Windows installation before shipping the computer to an end-user. More information for audit mode we could read from here: 
Customize Windows in Audit Mode.
PXE(Preboot Execution Environment) is a relatively simple protocol that was developed by Intel and other vendors as part of the Wired for Management initiative. PXE is derived from Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), itself derived from BootP, and
is typically implemented in your Network Interface Card (NIC).
Here is an technet magazine article talking about PXE:
Network-Booting Windows
Also technet article for reference:
Walkthrough: Deploy an Image by Using PXE
Hope this may help

I need to configure the laptops for customers. I want to configure it for them. I just want to boot with PXE and then configure the client. And then use sysprep and create new image and upload to WDS server. So the image is ready in WDS and I just need to
boot with PXE again and the laptop is configured(Updates,Drivers,Applications etc)
