If you will be imaging a relatively large number of PCs on a regular basis,
you'll want an enterprise imaging solution. I'm only familiar with ghost,
but the enterprise version handles SID changes (as well as removing/adding
systems from the domain) as part of the imaging process. If you don't have
an enterprise version, you can run sysprep on the PC you're taking the image
from prior to taking it. After downloading the image to your other PCs,
Windows will run a mini-setup that will give you the opportunity to assign
the systems unique names and enter license keys, and it will generate a
unique SID.
