The SID question?!

Hi,

We have a few computers in a workgroup that were cloned via Ghost from
bootfloppy. Ghostwalker etc was not used. I am trying to understand now we
are going to go down the domain route what exactly happens regarding the
SID's?

The computer from which the image was taken was joined to the domain and
then disjoined and rebooted before being ghosted. Once each machine is
ghosted it is joined to the domain. This does not seem to have caused any
problems.. I guess my main questions are:

Is there just one computer sid or is there a computer sid and a domain sid

If there is just one SID does this get changed when you join the domain etc
- (hence why my setup is working - and if this is the case how do local user
account ntfs permissions for example still work as surely the SID is not the
same?)

Does the SID problem only occur if I pulled down a image that was still
joined to a domain and then just rename the PC and then try to join? Getting
a bit confused about this topic as you can tell?
