Just as an example of tools that can be used to accomplish this, the
Ghost User's Manual has this to say about generating unique SID's:

 Ghost-Walker
 SID assignment and generation is now available with Ghost’s partner
 application, Ghost Walker. Ghost Walker is a utility for
 dynamically assigning SIDs on Windows NT systems. This makes it
 easier to duplicate Windows NT Systems, which require a unique
 SID for each system on the network.

 This standalone program resolves the problem of duplicate Security
 Identifiers (SIDs) on cloned NT machines. Purchasers of most
 Professional Ghost packages are now eligible to receive a
 complimentary copy of Ghost-Walker, Binary Research’s SID-Changer.
 This program may be run independently of Ghost and ensures that
 each NT machine on a network has a statistically unique Security
 Identifier.
