To change the SID of a machine running windows 2008 server ,you will use the sysprep utility that comes with the windows 2008 server. this will help you in many case.
For example : you took an image from an operating system running on one server and you will restore and use it on another server then you have to change your SID if you are planning to join this machine to the domain
The steps to use this utility is as follow :
- go to the following path :
c:\windows\system32\sysprep
2. double click on the sysprep.exe file
3. select the generalize option and choose to reboot , this will start creating a new SID for your machine then it will reboot the machine and start a mini windows setup as below figures show
4. choose your language and choose and type your hostname for this machine and after that you are done and when finish your machine will reboot and you can log on to windows
Note :
Using sysprep.exe will not affect any settings you already made inside your OS and it will not remove any pre-installed software or data
