Some run post install, most during, NTLite is good as well but too much work since unattended.xml just works so well.
There was another one too at some point called MSMG Toolkit (IIRC) that worked wonders but who knows what happened to that.
After 30+ years of using every OS I just don't want to deal with an OS that constantly fights with you just to try to make it usable, unattended.xml is MY path of least resistance, configure once, check/update every now and then, no need to learn new tricks.
