Can I change user SID ?

Can I change user SID ?

[Tiffany Chan]

Hi

How to change SID in win2k ? I have the following
problem:

Two w2k Advanced servers installed Cygwin. They used
local user account. 

------------            ------------
| Server A |            | Server B |
------------            ------------
            \           /             
            --------------
            | user C home|
            | directory  | SAN disk ( cluster control 
            --------------  where the disk go)
           
server A and B run cluster and shared SAN disk. User C
home directory are in SAN disk.

As using local account, user C has different SID in
two servers. 

E.g. When SAN disk is in Server A ( controlled by
cluster), in user C home directory, owner of files are
userC:None. When the cluster switch to Server B, the
owner of files become 1035:None

How can I show "userC:None" in both servers ? Can I
changed SID in w2k or Cygwin ? So User C have the same
SID.

Thanks

Nope.  You shouldn't use local accounts at all but domain
accounts in such sort of environment.
