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.

You can change the identity of your computer to avoid authentication problems whenever there exists the same
computer identity within a network. This can be helpful, whenever a system image is created on several computers
within the network. The disk of a fully installed and configured Windows computer is transferred onto another com-
puter.
Although this cloning method does save time and effort the problem that each cloned system has an identical com-
puter SID might arise. This influences the security in working group environments. In addition, the security of trans-
fer media might be inhibited in networks with many computer SIDs.
To avoid this problem, O&O DiskImage offers the option to change the identity of the computer.
Note: If an error occurs while changing the current computer SID, then we recommend resetting the registration
structures SECURITY and SAM.
1. Under Tools click Change computer properties.
2. Load the computer's non-active Windows system.
3. Then, enter a computer name for your computer (Give new name). Change saves your settings and the com-
puter identity after you have changed them. Close cancels the dialog without applying any changes.
