Hm... I would imagine that it would depend on the cloning process. For a
full bit for bit copy, that would inevitably lead to a cloned DUID. I would
hope that, at least in the Windows sysprep process, the existing DUID (which
appears to be stored in the registry) would be wiped, and a new one generated
at next boot.
Either way, sounds like something that needs to be tested in the lab before
extensive deployment =)
