Windows 10: You require permission from Desktop/My name to make changes to this file

String to change name in file permissions that include computer name

I am using clonezilla to restore an image to computers. Some of the imaged file systems use the machine name in their permissions. Is there a string to enter to make the system replace the cloned image machine name to the new (or any current) machine name (i.e. Users (CALLA009871\Users) to Users (CALLA001789\Users)). Hopefully maintaining the permissions of the cloned machine image, just changing the name. I'm thinking something like
Users (%computer_name%\Users) or is this even possible.

After thinking about it, I think I might not be asking the right question. I guess what I really need is a string to use that substitutes the current machine name and use it in the cloned (master) image.

Any suggestions
