a small note on possible problem: if your hardware (even virtual) is quite different from hardware where the image was taken from then system might not boot and probably will BSOD.

What you need to do before taking an image -- sysprep the system.

Then when an image will get deployed to new machine (real or virtual) the system will reconfigure itself to adopt to new environment.

If the image is taken and deployed on same hardware then sysprep is not necessary but you will still end-up with computer name conflict (one of the computers will require to change it's name).

hi Andromeda_x,

thank you for your help, in my case the image is taken and deployed on same hardware (so as you say it is not necessary to sysprep). But how I can change the name of PC? is it something special or a simple change of the settings?

Best regards
