Exchange 2010 SP1 breaks completely if your Doamin controller and Exchange server had the same SID, so I’m affraid Mark is completely mistaken on this one…

Agreed! This is the most surprising statement I came across for a long time. Just try to add a Windows machine to a domain with sid duplicated to one already in a domain, and it would not work! It’s so easy to verify in so many different ways!

BS. Mark had to drink the Microsoft cool-aid. Dupliocate SIDs are a problem for both the OS, security as well as third party applications which assume and require unique macine SIDs. What really happened is that some sensitive Microsoft dev people forced Mark to issue a retraction. They don’t after all like to have their sensitive development egos inconvenienced in any way…
