+1 for chocolatey. Perfect for new machines. I run this script whenever I'm finished resetting a windows 10 machine. I share it with friends looking to reinstall windows. It's super easy to modify for one's liking:
::Install Chocolatey @"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

Have to +1 this. Medicat has saved my butt many times. It's fairly easy to use and yes, it has a large footprint, but the software suite is worth it.
Hiren's BootCD - One stop shop for basically anything. From loading antivirus before boot, or imaging a drive that's on it's last leg. Lots and lots of tools builtin, and it has a desktop gui as well.
