Security ID's are they really unique

Does anyone know if it's possible for the System Cloning
Tool component to produce a Security ID that is the same
for two different customers?
 
Glen,

The chance is very, very low (0.0000....01%). I've never seen the same
numbers for a few thousands our devices deployed the same time on the same
type of target. However, if you don't trust System Cloning Tool to produce
unique SIDs, you may want to switch to newSID tool from Sysinternals
(http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/newsid.shtml). You'll find the app
source on the website.
