imaging XP on a domain (SID problem)
Well, I guess Iscrewed up. I imaged a laptop and then restored the image
onto 29 other laptops (they are all identical). However, I didn't realize I needed to chagne the SID (I thought that if I removed the laptop from the domain after restoring the image, then renaming the laptop, and then readding it to the domain that it would get new SIDs?) How can I see if I have unique SIDs on these laptops? Can I run sysprep now to chagne the SIDs or did this have to occur on the source before imaging it?) Any help would be great. |

Run Sysprep on all the workstations. Upon reboot, you will execute the mini setup wizard and you can re-enter all the information and add the computer back into the Domain with newly generated SIDs. Next time before you image a PC to be cloned, run Sysprep. Then when the PC shutsdown, you can image the PC. When you restore the image to the destination platforms, it will run the mini setup wizard. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

Either run Sysprep or see http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/NewSid.html
for another option. -- "John" wrote in message news Well, I guess Iscrewed up. I imaged a laptop and then restored the image onto 29 other laptops (they are all identical).
