Guys,
May I know if anyone here have good explanation about user SID's in windows ? for example when we create new user account in the server ( local account ), will this SID unique across the network / world, or it can be some possibilities that it get duplicates with other account within a same organization network.

Hi,
I found it strange, I'm having same sid twice on multiple servers, I cross fingers how this could happens.

Servers cloned? with an image tool maybe? If its a local account...

I think the possibility of having the same SID for a local user is the same as your server will be hit by a meteor twice ;)
If you create a local user same name same everything, try it. Use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psgetsid
then create LOCAL users on your servers, all the same name in cli
net user ABTESTBA somepassword /add
then
psgetsid ABTESTBA
the you'll see, all different. The only thing I can think of, was that the servers where cloned (without sysprep an such)
