I would like to see the details of what the issues are. Windows IT Pro mag is a nice mag and all, but there is no real technical review of the articles, you can say about anything you want to and I have seen several examples. Ditto for Redmond Mag and SearchWindows*, etc.
I don't think the people actually test the stuff they say in a lot of those articles though they try to state it authoritatively. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of AdamT Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 8:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] AD computer accounts being removed On 1/19/06, Aaron Visser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Taken from > http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/NewSid.html under the SID > Duplication Problem > > > snip Taken from: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/14919/14919.html At the start of the GUI phase of installation each NT/2000 installation generates a unique Security IDentifier (SID). If you then clone a workstation each installation would have the same machine SID. This is not a problem in a Windows NT 4.0 domain as users have a SID generated by the domain controller and do not user the local workstation SID for security. It IS a problem in a Windows 2000 domain as the local machine SID is used in nearly all aspects of security and before migrating to 2000 you should resolve any duplicate SID issues which may have been caused by cloning installations. -- AdamT "Maidenhead is *not* in Kent" List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
