"The name or security ID SID of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain"
I recently started on a Windows 2003 test domain. I have 6 Windows 2003 servers (SERVER1-6) all patched with all the security updates and antivirus. I ran DCPROMO on SERVER1; it’s now my only DC, DNS server, WINS server, and DHCP (which is not being used at this point). I created a new user (USER1) and made USER1 a member of DOMAIN ADMINS, SCHEMA ADMINS, and DOMAIN USERS. I can log on to SERVER1 as USER1 with no problems. Now on SERVER2, I join the test domain with no problems using the USER1 account I created. I now try to log onto SERVER2 as USER1 and receive this error message “The name or security ID SID of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain”. I can log on to SERVER1 as this user and I log on to SERVER2 as the local admin but I can not log on to SERVER2 as USER1. Thanks in advance for you time.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The cause of this problem is most likely because you ghost imaged the servers to each other. This means they all have exactly the same SID and the member server cannot join to the DC with the same SID. To resolve this, take the member server off the domain, run ghost walker to reset the SID on the member server, then rejoin and this will fix the problem.
Hi,
I had the same problem and i used NewSid program http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/newsid.shtml
It chenaged the SID automaticlly (for those who don't know how to use ghost walker) and everything works fine

Jupp, this worked for me too, but the link posted by aleex is dead. Here is the new link: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/NewSid.mspx
Thank you gentlemen, I actually just did that and now the server is rebooting. I just checked here to see if anyone has posted any additional tips. I will let you know the results
Thank you gentlemen for your help; the NewSid did the trick. I am good to go for the exchange install next.
