I've had some issues when working with the CMU, but I haven't noticed any
significant changed to the old server during imaging at least.  I've had
trouble with machines not being quite copied correctly (ie., user account
come over, but not style preferences).  Or in one situation it appeared to
copy over the same corrupted data that was causing issue on the old server.
But in a clean server environment, it seems to work 9/10 times or so.  And
only mild fixable quirks when it does get them.
