Cloning xp and sid issues

[Guest]

Hello

I wonder if someone could point me in the direction of cloning windows xp
and the issues and contents of the sid (security identifier).

We are about to roll out 400 xp Pen Tablets and I need to research what the
sid is and how it could effect us.

Thanks

John

Thats what Sysprep.exe is for. It strips the SIDs and when you restore a clone to a
destination platform you will run the Mini-Setup Wizard. Then you can name the host, add
the host to the Domain, set the IP address, etc.

Symantec Ghost and Sysprep -- perfect together ;-)
