Computers with same SID

Hi,

Our shop is upgrading from a Windows NT domain to a Windows 2003 domain
using Active Directory. Our desktop OS is Windows 2000. We have noticed that
as a result of our Ghost (version 6.5) imaging practices we have a number of
computers that share the same computer SID. The PC drivers are OK as we use a
different Ghost image for each type of PC that we deploy.

We have had no issues with this in the past but are concerned about what may
happen once we enter into a active directory environment.

I am trying to compile is a list of issues that we can expect to run into as
a result of having computers with the same SID. I am also, looking for the
best way to address this issue.

If you can provide me with any links to this information I would really
appreciate it.
 
This link may help.
