I have several PCs on my network running Windows 2000 and were installed using the same CD key. Is there a utility that I can run through the login script that will pipe out the SID information to a database or text file? I'd like to be able to identify the PCs using common SIDs so I can go back and SysPrep them.

Try to use SIDwalker.
Security Administration Tools - consists of three programs - showaccs.exe, sidwalk.exe and Security Migration Editor (MMC snap-in).

Most companys install with the same key code for the CD's. When you use ghost or RIS you use the same key and there is not a problem doing this as long as you have the correct documention and the correct amount of licenses. The SID is the SecurityIP of hash that represents each individual pc. I would not see a reason to go in and change this
