Default 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.

Yes.

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.

Either run Sysprep or see http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/NewSid.html
for another option.
