Including the difference in a machine SID and a domain SID.Also other aspects left out by the author, are discussed. As example WSUS, 3rd. party software, etc. still can cause problems.So as others already pointed out, the recommendation to NOT change the SID is not a good recommendation for everyone.In other words, you should keep changing the SIDs the way you normally do, only that NEWSID will not be around for vista and win 7. :-((Seams like other features of NEWSID has been left out as useful, like changing and randomizing computer names, etc.)-- Ø.S. Hi Joep,
If you take a look at the comments to the referred article ppl have written a lot of interesting things.
Including the difference in a machine SID and a domain SID.

Also other aspects left out by the author, are discussed. As example WSUS, 3rd. party software, etc. still can cause problems.

So as others already pointed out, the recommendation to NOT change the SID is not a good recommendation for everyone.

In other words, you should keep changing the SIDs the way you normally do, only that NEWSID will not be around for vista and win 7. :-(

(Seams like other features of NEWSID has been left out as useful, like changing and randomizing computer names, etc.)

Joining an AD is one I've had loads of trouble with if SID's were identical. Tana: there are lots of reasons to change the SID.

But thanks for a nice detailed how-to-article ! If you really red the Russinovich’s article you would find out that there rarely has been any need to change machine SID in the first place …

Maybe I should consider using sysprep for all windows templates.. Hmm, I didn’t know W2008r2 had such trouble with newsid. Maybe I should consider using sysprep for all windows templates..

However, I'm simply too lazy to use sysprep. For a simple scenario like above, I believe newsid suffices. For actual production environments, I continue to use Sysprep.
