Re: Duplicating Workstation on Network

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



Duplicate SIDs aren't an issue in a Domain-based
environment since domain accounts have SID's based on
the Domain SID. But, according to Microsoft Knowledge
Base article Q162001, "Do Not Disk Duplicate Installed
Versions of Windows NT", in a Workgroup environment
security is based on local account SIDs. Thus, if two
computers have users with the same SID, the Workgroup
will not be able to distinguish between the users. All
resources, including files and Registry keys, that one
user has access to, the other will as well "

In article <epVnog#eFHA.3040@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
"Phillip Windell" <@.> says...
> You never changed the SID. You have to alter the SID which takes a special
