High utilization of resources after fresh image of MBP's

We just rolled out JSS. Hopefully I can give you enough info, but I'm a Windows guy, so I'm still learning OS X. I made an image for our MBP's (brand new 13" MBPr), complete with java, flash, and Office 2016. Nothing fancy at all. I can't find out when/where, but after a little while, now all the MBP's are constantly running their fans very loud because of high resource utilization, and I don't know to how to properly see how/why it's happening. High resource processes include "launchd", "fseventsd", "UserEventAgent", "opendirectoryd", "notifyd", and "syslogd". Any help?

Another note, all users are local admins on their machines. We thought maybe something was hung up on the back end that wasn't letting a checkup/install to happen, but by giving them admin rights, nothing changed. Still high utilization behind the scenes.

PeterClarke, I don't know how to check for this? Is there a way?

Poseiden, not sure how to answer this (sorry). I used Casper Imaging, and run the following:
1. Erase Drive
2. Install the 10.10.5 Image.dmg file
3. Set the Mac's name
4. Update inventory

Then I install other pieces of software one by one via Remote:
1. Adobe Flash
2. Adobe Reader
3. Flash
4. Office 2016 (Office365 Pro Plus Subscription)

That's all. Nothing serious.

@PeterClarke How was the "10.10.5 Image.dmg" created?
