Resetting SID on Windows Server 2012 R2 Cloned Image

In this video we walk through how to reset the SID of a machine that has been cloned.

This tends to be an issue where lab machines are cloned from one image for multiple machines. In the case of Server 2012 R2 in this example, a single machine has been built for lab work in Virtualbox, powered on, updated then switched off and then simple used as a cloning template for other machines. As demonstrated the issue here being the SID remains the same as the cloned machine, therefore running sysprep resets this.
