Re: Windows XP computer SID duplication



Hello anonymous,

You can join them without any problem, like you see. The problems can occur during the normal work with security settings and so on. So if you clone machines include sysprep from the support tools to remove the SID during shutdown BEFORE building the clone. Also running machines without doing sysprep will not be supported from Microsoft.

Hello,

I have made a clone with Drive Image 6 (MSDOS diskette) for a Windows
XP
with SP2 with all the patches.
I have deployed this clone image using the same tool for a 100 PC's.
After the first reboot I have changed manually the computer name on
every PC.
I have joined all the PC's to a Windows 2003 domain.
Everything is working fine.
I have WSUS 3.0 and SMS 2003 and all the clients are OK and the
management
is OK.
All computer have the same computer SID - I have used PSGETSID

How come you can join hundreds PC's with the same computer SID to a
domain? When I will have problems with this situation?

Thank you,



.
