Each computer is assigned a unique SID during setup so that it can be identified on the network. The duplication process cannot generate a unique SID on the Target drives. Microsoft supports the use of duplication equipment to save time and effort and has provided guidelines for configuring a master drive to avoid SID duplication issues. The guidelines describe configuring a master drive for Unattended Windows NT Installation. For a copy of the entire document, go online to http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/deploy.exe. Another method is to use one of several 3rd party SID changer tools. To read more about SID issues refer to the Internet address www.ntinternals.com.
