Lab Implementation

SO, I'm attempting to setup remote access to one of my labs...and I have a need to make all the machines accessible.

What I was planning on doing was establishing a Launchpad server using SSH or something and then tunnelling VNC through SSH...what I'd like to do is run each VNC server on a different port.  This i know works...my problem is...

I'd like to be able to automate installation so that If I reimage a mchine, I can autmatically configure it to go back to that non-standard VNC port...

I'm going to be doing this on both WIndows 2k,2k3,XP and Solaris 8,9...

Does anyone here have a method or script that can be written so that post OS/application installation it can automatically configure the VNC listnening port?  Or possibly tell me what files/reg entries need to be changed and i can then write my own reg hack/shell script to run post install?

Thanks
