Changing MAC Addresses

I recently made a model computer for ghost and started pushing this load out
to my network when I found that ghost was making them all with the same MAC
Address. This is not acceptable for my current application. I was wondering
if there was a way to force Windows to recalculate the MAC Address short of
removing and reloading the NIC drivers.

Windows will not supply a MAC address unless you told it to in the
configuration for the network card. It should use the MAC address on the
card, unless you manually put one in, and then that one will override the
existing MAC address.
