There is an Enterprise Deployment Guide here:
 <http://www.adobe.com/support/deployment/cs3_deployment.pdf>

... but be aware that the installers for CS3 are seriously broken. CS4 is incrementally better, but still not great shakes. There is hope for CS5...

Really suggest looking at a tool like Casper, FileWave, or LanREV for helping automate deployment. Take a look at the Composer package from JAMF (http://www.jamfsoftware.com) - has the ability to snapshot the install and build a deployable .pkg - only $99 by itself, or included with Casper.
