Duplicate sids would give you machine errors of the type... machine name not found duplicate name unable to join the domain unable to contact the domain or other type of errors. Since I have been syspreping or sidwalking, I have not seen these errors in a while. So if the errors are not exactly worded.... I have not seen a duplicate SID cause you not to get a desktop.
I would go with the virus or something else corrupting the logon process. It is possible that your machine was compromised and your virus scanner did not restore the logon executable properly. I had this happen a couple of times. Andy0 t 05:44 PM 6/1/2009, Joe Heaton wrote: >Don, > >Wouldn't there be some trace if there were duplicate SIDs >detected?
