Sysinternals' NewSID could perhaps be of help?-f0dder (January 24, 2008, 06:18 PM)
Good find f0dder!
I read through the product description and I am going to have a go with it to see how it performs in our environment. However, based upon what I read, this probably isn't what I'm looking for.
NewSID is (of course) made to work in/for a Microsoft Networking environment, whereas, we use Novell as our network solution. There is no requirement (that I know of - must investigate) to change the Security Identifier which would be the main reason to use this. Changing the computer name seems to be an added side effect, "should you choose to use it". ;)
Now, those are assumptions made on my part. We've never discussed SID's before, and my ten year old Novell training never mentioned the use of SIDs either, but I will have to double check this. If the SIDs are irrelevant in a Novell environment, then this could be auseful tool.
Thanks for the pointer!
