I need to find out which SIDs are modified by Sysprep. I
found documentation listing the Well-known SIDs at:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;243330

There are some computers in the domain and I don't want to
take the chance of running Sysprep on them because the
person who deployed them is not available to tell me the
key for the product code. I can't afford to get any of
our computers locked in the mini-setup wizard.

Is it enough to remove the client from the domain and then
re-add it?

Please email me directly with your knowledge and
suggestions as to how I can manually change the necessary
SIDs without running Sysprep.

Thank you for all of your help.
