Dell Vostro 3500 laptop imaging

Question

We are running ZCM10.3.1 on the server. We purchased several new Dell
vostro 3500 laptops with exact same hardware configuration. We created
an image off one of the laptops. Then test the image by pulling the
image down to a different laptop (exactly the same hardware
configuration Dell vostro 3500) and then got the error saying hardware
changed and cannot boot. We put a dell restoration disk to have the
laptop boot into the disk and did repair from the disk. The laptop boot
up fine after the repair.
Can someone give me some idea what might be going on? I am clueless.
Thanks a lot!

Can you try the same thing with the latest imaging (10.3.3 or 11). Ie do a
manual image same/restore with an imaging CD. Saves you having to update
all of your backend.
If it works then, then we will know how to proceed.
