Lukas,

Thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty sure that we don't have/use Samba, but we do have/use AD. Not sure what SID is, but the old PC's will be taken off of the network (i.e., not recycled here for any purpose; i.e., thrown in the trash bin - figuratively speaking).

If the PC hardware is all the same model, do a complete build on one PC and

Be aware that you need Software Assurance on at least one of the
machines to acquire the necessary reimaging rights.

Also, you'll need to sysprep the PC - Norton Ghost does not do this.
If you do not sysprep the machine, they will have the same SID. This
can run you into lots of trouble when you use the PCs in a network
(like Samba or Active Directory).
