It seems that the New SID part of this program is no longer there or not working with Windows 7 anyway. &nbsp;IS there ANY tool out there to help change the SID? &nbsp;Surely it would only need one character to differentiate it from the original computer the OS was cloned from?

Glad to know your feedback. <br />
<br />
My routine is do a sysprep first before cloning if both the old and new pc needs to live together in a single network after cloning is made.

This lead to further research on my part that may prove useful to others in this situation.

I cloned my home computer in order to reinstall a crashed system on my office computer. (I also changed the Win 7 product ID in order to ensure it was unique and legal.) However, Windows Live Mesh now insists that the machine at home and the machine in the office are the same machine, despite obvious hardware and software differences in the two machines. <br />
<br />
I uninstalled Windows Live on both machines. &nbsp;I also removed the ID from the WIndows Live Devices page. &nbsp;When I reinstall, however, the machine in the office conitiues to insist thnat it is the original machine, rather than the new machine it should be.<br />
