Map network drive
Note: Network authentication is needed for accessing network drives when images are saved on or restored from
them. Read more about it in the chapter Authentication within the network.
Change computer identity
You can change the identity of your computer to avoid authentication problems whenever the same computer identity is
already being used within a network. This can be helpful whenever a system image is being rolled out onto several computers
across a network, meaning a fully installed and configured Windows computer is transferred onto the drives of
another computer.
Although this method does save time and effort compared to other kinds of duplication, there is a problem arising with
each cloned system having the identical computer SID. This influences the security in working group environments. In
addition, the security of transfer media might be inhibited in networks with many computer SIDs.
To avoid this problem, O&O DiskImage provides an option for changing the computer identity.
