Default Windows xP computer SID duplication

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
http://technet.microsoft.com/ro-ro/s...17(en-us).aspx

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,

Actually - the SID is changed when you join the domain - at least to the
domain all the SIDs are different.

If they were all in a workgrup - you might have had a problem.

My only question is why did you not use a tool like NEWSID or something to
change not only the names but the SID as well - so you wouldn't have to even
think about this question? ;-)

Did you use Sysprep on the source PC prior to cloning the source PC ?
