1279 Things to consider when imaging computers from post-encryption hard disk images

You may be considering cloning an encrypted disk in order to provide a standardized image for other endpoint devices.

Second, initially at least, all these devices will start off with exactly the same Windows device name.

Third, the key name that will protect each device will have no similarity to the device name.
