The name or security ID (SID) of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain

My colleague created a WMware Windows base image and I asked him to send a new copy to me because I need an environment of 2 separate (virtual) machines for AppServer (machineA) and DbServer (machineB) for testing purpose.

machineA is a DC and what I need to do next is let machineB join the domain of machineA. I go to the property of my computer on machineB and join the domain of machineA successfully. However, I can't login to machineB after restart and I got an error message: The name or security ID (SID) of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain.

Fortunately, I read this post from google and try the NewSid tool immediately, then the SID and name of the cloned WMware image changed immediately! (BTW, the URL of NewSid tool in that blog post is outdated so please following this link - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/NewSid.mspx

What is this SID? and what is its significance?

This works for ALL cloned images in other virual environments such as Virutal PC and Virtual Server.

DUH!  Now I remember this from my MCSE 2000 training...how could I forget such a simple thing?  

BTW, this is MUCH simpler than the SYSPREP routine.

I have the same problem, but I have also a dubt using this utility...my server is a web-server based on IIS. What's happen after changig the SID to the signed SSL certificate installed on the machine?
