Demand from the Windows community has lead several companies to develop programs that can change a computer's SID after a system has been cloned.
Microsoft only support images that are prepared using SysPrep. SysPrep is a great tool but if you need only to change the SID of computer, it will take a lot of time and requieres the CD KEY.
However, Symantec's SID Changer and Symantec's Ghost Walker are only sold as part of each company's high-end product. Further, they both run from a DOS command prompt (Altiris' Changer is similar to NewSID).
NewSID is a program developed by Sysinternals (now partthat changes a computer's SID. It is free and is a Win32 program, meaning that it can easily be run on systems that have been previously cloned. NewSID works on Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows .NET Server.
