For an IT Professional it is quite common to have a virtual LAB environment and it is also common to face issue related to similar SID (Security Identifier) on multiple VMs on the network. Earlier there was a tool “ NewSID ” was being used to overcome from this problem but that’s been retired and not being supported by Microsoft anymore. The recommended way is to use “SysPrep” to change SID of any windows operating system. Before proceeding with “SysPrep”, it’s better to understand how to check SID!! There is a free tool can be downloaded from sysinternal called “ PsGetSID ” , I’ll show how easily one can check machine’s SID.
