VISTA and New SID

MikeF15334 · Oct 29, 2009

I have a bunch of laptops with windows VISTA and I am having issues change the new SID on it. It will not allow me to change the SID and it hangs. Is there another program out to change the SID identifier for VISTA

This topic describes the command line syntax for the Windows Vista version of Sysprep.
If you intend to transfer a Windows image to a different computer, you must run sysprep /generalize, even if the computer has the same hardware configuration. The sysprep /generalize command removes unique information from your Windows installation, which enables you to reuse that image on different computers. The next time you boot the Windows image, the specialize configuration pass runs. During this configuration pass, many components have actions that must be processed when you boot a Windows image on a new computer. Any method of moving a Windows image to a new computer, either through imaging, hard disk duplication, or other method, must be prepared with the sysprep /generalize command. Moving or copying a Windows image to a different computer without running sysprep /generalize is not supported.

Note: NewSID will be retired from Sysinternals on November 2, 2009.

Newsid 4.1 only really covered xp.

Perhaps something new is coming out.

At work we are still using XP, so I couldn't really say. There is a link:
