Problem with the System Cloning Tool

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I’m using the System Cloning Tool to name my machines, now I seal the image,
clone the drives and put the drives in our terminals. However, on a sample of
only 80 images we’ve had about 15 network name clashes. Is there a setting
that I have to have change, or is there a top limit that the machines will
safely clone to?

My concern is that we are toying with the idea of using remote boot systems
that will have in the order of a 1000 units. Will we end up in the situation
where large numbers of our terminals will have name clashes?

Thanks for any information you might have.
