SYMPTOMSIf you use the System Preparation Tool for Windows NT 4.0 to duplicate a Windows NT installation from one computer to another and you then use the Rdisk.exe tool to repair the registry of the computer that contains the duplicated installation, you may experience various security, permissions, and access problems. CAUSEThis issue can occur if the Repair folder on the computer on which Windows NT is duplicated contains the security identifiers (SIDs) of the computer from which you obtained the duplicate installation. RESOLUTION

on the computer on which Windows NT is duplicated immediately after you
use the System Preparation Tool for Windows NT 4.0. To do so, click Start,
click Run, type "rdisk /s" (without quotation marks) in the Open box, and

ARTICLE-ID: Q122857 MORE INFORMATIONWhen you use the System Preparation Tool for Windows NT 4.0 to duplicate a Windows NT installation from one computer to another, the Repair folder on the computer on which Windows NT is duplicated contains the SIDs of the computer from which you obtained the duplicate installation. If you attempt to use the Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) process to repair the registry of the computer on which Windows NT is duplicated, the SIDs of the computer from which you obtained the duplicate installation could overwrite the new, unique SIDs in the registry. This results in duplicate SIDs in the registry, and can lead to various security, permissions, and access problems. Additional query words: clone ghost image sysprep
