I once tried to join an AD DC to an existing domain after cloning it out from a DC of the domain I was going to join, hence I had the same SID (the join as child domain was failing of course). I was able to "fix" it in the image, but I think this may work only before promoting the machine to a DC, as after that you have the SID pretty much everywhere in the LDAP store. However the poster may experiment with SID History maybe ?
