Same SID

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi

One of my clients have a NT domain with mostly XP clients (some 2000 and
NT4). The clients are cloned from a few different images so many of them
have the same SID. This havent been a problem in the NT4 domain.

Now we are about to migrate to 2003 AD.
Are we facing big trouble here??
or..
Can we migrate to 2003 without changing the SID?
or
Do we have to change SIDs before migration or after?
