You can change a duplicate SID directly in LDAP. Simply use an LDAP
browser of your choice (like http://jxplorer.org/).
BUT: Windows uses only SIDs to identicate users/groups/machines!
This means if you change the SID of an machine account, this machine
won't be able to login any more (you have to re-join)!
If you change the SID of an user or group that is nowhere linked (like
in other domain groups, local groups/policies, etc.), then it should be
save to simply change the SID. But e. g. if your domain user account is
member of the local administrators group and you change the SID, then
you will see an unresolvable SID entry in the local administrators group
and the account doesn't have this privileges any more, because the old
SID that was linked, does not exist any more.
That's why I would e. g. never change the SID of "Domain users".
This
one is surely somewhere linked in your network.
So be carefully what you change and test it!
