Sure no problem. It is in the same problem category as a windows 
administrator administrating a pool of 100 clients and the necessary 
servers. If that administrator has not figured out how to automate that 
process, (s)he should be very ashamed.
But with a unix-like system it is so much easier to automate things in 
comparison to windows-like systems.
