通过使用NewSID工具，可以在Windows 2003 Server网络中为每个克隆服务器生成唯一的安全标识符（SID），同时更改计算机名称，确保网络安全性。

Use NewSID to modify a cloned server's SID on your Windows 2003 Server network

Takeaway: Here's a shortcut for when you want to deploy your Windows 2003 Servers. With NewSID, you can clone a base security identifier (SID) and give each new server its own identity.

There are multitudes of ways you can quickly deploy new Windows 2003 Servers without having to go through the full installation process. Particularly when it comes to using virtualization and creating a base p_w_picpath for a server system, you'll need to go through the process of modifying the system's security identifier (SID) or you'll wreak havoc on your Windows 2003 Server network.

Microsoft’s deployment tools are very good about handling this detail, but other cloning methods are not always able to handle this task.

Sysinternals' free utility, NewSID, aims to help you correct this problem. NewSID generates a random SID for the computer and replaces every occurrence of the old SID with the new one. NewSID can also change the name of the computer, which is useful if you’ve cloned a complete base p_w_picpath.

To automatically execute NewSID and change the name of your server from the command line execute:

newsid /a [new_name]

After a reboot, your computer will have the name you specify and a unique SID.
