Yes, you can use Sysprep to remove the SIDs. I would recommend creating a
sysprep answer file with all the information that is the same for all
computers (Product key if using volume licensing, Company name, domain to
join, etc.), running sysprep and making a ghost image from that machine.
Once you do this, you will get a mini setup when you turn on the machine
asking for unique info such as computer name. I'm told having duplicare SIDs
can create some problems, but I'm not sure what. You can find Sysprep for
Windows XP on the Windows XP Pro CD in the \SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY.CAB
Hope this helps
