Hi

After cloning PCs, I would run NewSID.exe (from SysInternals.com). Does it
matter if I run this before or after joining the client PCs to a domain ?

Thanks
Steve

Before, of course. After joining the domain, the conflict has
already occurred.

Hi

In a domain environment, you haven't got a conflict really.

The only situations where identical computer SID can be a "problem"
(securitywise), is in a workgroup setting as well for removable media formated
with NTFS (where local account security attributes are applied to files and
directories).

Thank you both for your advice.

Steve
