The Clone step lets you restore image files to
client computers. You can restore an image file to a single
computer, or restore the same image to all the computers in a
computer group. If you have saved an image file locally on each of
the target computers using the same name and location, you can
restore them all in a single task.
Local
deployment of Console resources
Note: When you restore the same image on two or
more computers, they all have the same name, which is the name of
the model computer from which the image was created. To correct
this, you need to include a configuration step in the task to
change the name of each computer. You use a template configuration
set for this.
