What you need is autoyast. http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/

I'd seriously suggest to take a look into LTSP:

http://www.ltsp.org/

1-3 (for ha) well sized ltsp server should be enough to for your
clients, you only need to install/update the few servers. It
drops down administration complexity to a minimum.

Autoyast is useful for this: you can use "YaST2 autoyast" to set up an
autoyast configuration file, but you really need to read the documentation
on PXE, tftpboot, and autoyast to understand how to set it up. It will be a
good day's worth of testing and research, but it can work.
