Network Boot - Computer Name - Confused

[Rene]

Well, I finally put together an XPE image that is pretty close to what I
need, once I finish with the image completely, I am planning on taking the
image and use it to network boot about 100 mini computers. Since all of the
mini computers have the exact same hardware I am planning on using the same
image for all of them.



This all sound good and all but I am wondering what kind of problems am I
going to have if I do that, for example, one of my biggest concern with this
is that since the image that I am building logs into a domain, what's going
to happen when 100 computers named the same way try to login to the same
domain? As far as I know, all computers on the domain must be named
differently! What's the solution?



Thanks.
