Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
I heard about devbox [1] but I haven't tried it yet. Perhaps it could suit your needs.
Back in the day I used "Norton Ghost" to create a full image of a just-installed windows just in case I needed to go back in time. Windows includes a snapshot feature built-in but I did not really trusted it. These days you can use a "sysprep" tool [2] to create a similar system snapshot. Make a partition and keep everything you don't want deleted on drive D: or something :-).

Have i made my own linux distro? ^_^
For provisioning the machines base image consider FOG it uses PXE and can remotely provision dozens of machines using multicast.

How to : Proxmox Windows VM to discard changes after reboot
With standard computers, I usually deploy something like the fog project and automate the process over pxe with scheduled reboots. I guess you could do that as well with your VMs but that seems overkill.

Best procedure to run a small computer lab.
you could setup a PXE server and automate installs. you could also clone them and reapply the image as needed. https://fogproject.org/ or lookup CloneZilla both are open source

Can you auto-wipe to base image without domain?
Microsoft used to have a free tool called SteadyState to do this, but it's been discontinued for a while. It took a different approach of undoing changes rather than restoring from image but it worked great with Kiosk mode. There are remote management tools that can wipe and reimage managed machines, most of them don't require an AD domain. As an example FOG Project.

Version control for configs yes or no?
You didn't mention about brand of the switches, but majority of vendors is covered with Oxidized: https://github.com/ytti/oxidized Just configure it with git backend, and you have version control and device backups. Also, if you wish, there are bundled sone extra scripts that could report git changes via email.
