This sounds like an advertisement, but I've got nothing to gain. Just thought you might like to know about this. If you're cloning a bunch of Windows boxes, you'll have a problem with SID's... they'll all be the same. That's a bad thing. Maybe you have a need to change a SID... perhaps a dual-boot box where you want the computer names and IP addresses to be the same. This is all assuming you have the proper number of software licenses, of course. If you go to the Sysinternals website ( http://www.sysinternals.com/ ) you can download NewSID, a free SID changing program. Source code is available. For more info on NewSID, go to http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/newsid.shtml I have NOT tried this software, so I can't help you use it. --Jonathan Johnson jon@sutinen.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
