It is set automatically when you join the domain.
Just leave the domain and join it again, your problem will be solved.

Yet another method is not using "cloning", but a real Unattended 
installation - similar to cloning, but doesn't have the drawbacks of 
cloning (which are: problems with machine names/passwords, cloning will 
work only on the same/very similar hardware, hard to change etc.).
