It works on XP just fine, not sure about Vista just yet but I have no reason to think it wouldn't.
Just run this utility on Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server R2 with SQL 2000 Standard and had no problem. I had two virtual servers that had access to my internal network and run the newsid generator and did not show a duplicate name on the network. I might mention that I had DHCP enabled to allow new machine to have an IP when it was started. You can think Mark Russinovich for that cool little utility from Sysinternals.
I've some problems with SID changing after the deployment. Because Windows also have many unique ID, for example network interfaces ID. I?ve issue with MS Windows Network Load Balancing it doesn?t working on two virtual machines deployed from single image, because as I mentioned before it doesn?t changing network identifiers. So be careful with this ?New SID? utility.
This tool looks pretty limited. Do you know of a tool or method for cloning an Active Directory Domain Controller? We occasionally have the need to duplicate a production AD domain for testing and developement purposes. I usually create an internal network on ESX and bring a copy of the DC up in an isolated environment. This has severe limitations and drawbacks. It would be nice to be able to bring it up as a DC in another forest (with all computer and user accounts in tact).
If you have a copy of Symantec Ghost setting around, you might try ghostwalker. it's usually incorporated in any version of ghost.
I think this tool was mainly developed for end-user clients or workstation on a massive scale.
I believe I am a victim of this issue. I have a few computers that I cannot access remotely and I believe they are related to newsid.exe.
To test this theory, I used a loaner laptop that I could not access remotely. I reran newsid.exe and viola! Network access is enabled.
BUT! It doesn't always work. I have a couple more laptops that cannot be reached remotely and some VM server installs with the same deal.
So how do I go about changing the network identifier? It may fix this problem so my users can access the VM servers for testing.

Since newSID has been retired, the Microsoft supported method of changing SIDs for cloned machines is to use SysPrep.
