So,  the SID in the ghost image has to be the same as the SID in the System
Object that TSM has from the backup? (The one that will be restored)

I ask because we used Ghost to remove the SID when we created the image.

If this is the case, how do I know what the SID is so that I can use the
free software to put it back?

Thanks!
Marc

You can use a free util which set the SID. We use this a lot, does it work
in two second and you are done.

email if you like to have, it is freeware
