We had the same problem with the DELL D610 and our ghost image. I solved
the problem by using a docking station or port replicator. The laptop
will register in the Active directory automaticaly. I am in contact
with a Dell technician. If you reinstall your image on a laptop that
was once registred in AD you won't received that message.
