Cloning CF, EWF and "A duplicate name exist on the network"

I have a completely functional Image on CF using RAM EWF.

I can clone the image and it is fully functional, But if I run 2 or more
devices on the same network segment (ie, LAN not WAN), I get the error: "A
duplicate name exist on the network", which is correct, I have 2 or more with
the same name.

I have included the System Cloning Tool but I do not believe it is being
used, or it is not configured correctly.

SO... The questions is what am I supposed to do to prevent the duplicate
Names?

Do I have to run "fbreseal.exe", then duplicate the CF? Will this provide a
unique name on each unit when they restart?

Regards,

Aaron

Aaron,

If you dont need them - we disable the "Server", "Workstation", and
"Computer Browser" services. This seems to elminate this error as a
side effect.

Well it sounds like you need to reseal your image the system cloning tool
workd on uninstalled images as a last step once it has been setup to reseal
and change the SID the network ID and computer name are assgined dynamically
on restart.

Set up your image and copy fbreseal.exe from your repository to to your
image boot up and run it. This then reseals the image and you can copy it to
your other devices.
