CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS
Logicube Omniclone Xi ™ User’s Manual 23
for security and authentication purposes. The same
SID numbers are found in the system registry in
various locations.
When such drives are cloned, the SID numbers get
copied without change. If the Target drive
participates in the same network as the Master,
there will be a security breach, which will cause
undesirable network behavior.
To avoid this issue with Windows NT and Windows
2000, we recommend a freeware SID changer
called NewSID. The latest version can be down-
loaded at www.sysinternals.com. Logicube is in no
way associated with SysInternals and cannot offer
any technical support for NewSID. Other
commercial SID changers can also be found at
major software outlets.
For Windows XP, you must use Microsoft’s Sysprep
utility, which is available as a free download from
the Microsoft website at www.microsoft.com.
No matter which solution you choose, install the
SID utility on the Master drive prior to cloning. That
way, every cloned Target will have immediate
access to it. NewSID can even be configured to run
when the Target drive is first booted.
