One less thing to worry about?

Ok, I don't how it works with you guys and your team, but for us, electrical and programming are kinda mashed into one and there is one to two people that are really involved on the sub team at all. Well this year, I'm that guy. Now when we do PR events we like to have someone with a base of knowledge in electrical/programming to both talk to people, and fix problems. Well I'm a busy man, and can't make every event. Soooooo I have started to build a base of resources and help for the "mechys" to follow when I am unavailable. Currently I am writing a .bat on a thumbdrive so the can plug it in, hit go, and it walks them through/does it for them, set up a router, bridge, and ds, from default settings... this is where i need YOU! I would like to make it click go and boom, done, but this is nearly impossible, so things done physically i plan on just doing "echo (instructions) pause" now ive also been playing around with importing a routers config file ect ect... so basically, i want a thumb drive that when plugged in, has a batch file that will set all the necessary network devices to get it working. (it seems the wireless networking is what most of my mechanical friends call me about) Thoughts, Input, examples, maybe the file itself already exists?? ahhaha thanks all!
