Custom SID

To make a long story short, I have a situation where a certain percentage of systems in the field have varying SIDs (most are imaged, but some have been reinstalled from the XP cd in the field). About 30-40 of 200+ have SIDs to be changed.

My issue is that I need all of these systems in the field to have the same SID. Just the opposite of what has already been discussed.

Any suggestions?
Scripting this in would be a plus.

The latest version of NewSID would work if there is a way to script in the custom SID. All I see reference to is the /a argument but nothing beyond that. I was just notified this will have to be placed on a CD to be sent out to the customers machines, I wouldn't trust them to not mess up entering the new SID.

This doesn't pertain much to my application as IIS is disabled on our machines. But...

It does, however, give me an idea on scripting in newsid which provides a starting point. I may have to dive into VBScript or JScript a little more to pass the custom SID into the interface of newSID to change it that way.

Is that about the only other option I have?
