Virtual Machine Issue

VMs are indispensable to me now, and I found it is a common problem to copy a base machine (say, one with 2003 server all patched up on it) to build several servers. Trouble is, VMWare, or Virtual Server will complain that the SID is identical. Here is how to fix that problem with a free utility.

The name or security ID (SID) of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain: "Fortunately I haven't been the only one to see this. You can download NewSID from SysInternals (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/newsid.shtml) and it will change the SID on the server you are wanting to connect to the DC with. They even include the source code - for educational purposes."
