Capture ESXi install for PXE deployment

I have an vSphere host with a local datastore which contains a single VM. I also have a Windows Deployment Services server (WDS) and would like to capture this configuration so I can deploy it to other hosts (destined for remote sites).

I found this blog post, which describes the steps I can use to setup my WDS server to deploy an ESXi install: https://polarclouds.co.uk/deploying-vmware-esxi-via-wds/​. What I wonder, is if there is a mechanism, by which, I can take the configured host and capture it for automated deployment to other hosts.

Thanks.
