How to change SID Windows 7

[Migration User]

Hello,

I customized Windows7 64 "Enterprise" :
- Created an account with administrator privileges (administrator buit-in is disabled)
- Installed all the drivers.
- Installed all software.
- Set up the network
- ...
Then I created an image file with Ghoscast server (11.5.1.2266). The image is copied to 20 computers. There is no domain. The account is the same on each computer with local administrator rights. 20 computers must be 100% identical. (Workgroup)
 
I do not use Ghost Console. I configured 3Com PXE / TFTP, WinPE, Ghoscast server GhWalk32. I start the PXE installation with no CD or USB on 20 computers. I tried GhWalk32.exe (11.5.1.2266) to change the SID but there are incompatibilities with WIN7.
 
1) Is there a version (old or recent) GhWalk32.exe/GhWalk.exe that works with WIN7 ?
 
2) With GSS 3.0 GhWalk32.exe will it compatible with WIN7 and WIN8 ?

In fact, I just want to generate a new SID. GhWalk32.exe is very easy but not compatible. I read a lot of topic (Symantec, Microsoft, etc.) about sysprep and Waik but its use is difficult when you only want to change the SID.
If sysprep loses profiles, drivers, installed software, it becomes useless to use an image file.
The solution with unattend.xml seems difficult too.

3) Is there a simple way to my case with or without sysprep ?

Thank you.

to 3:

There once was "NewSID" but it got retired, as it had too many sideffects _not_ using sysprep.

SID changing does not work on Windows 7. There is increasing use of encryption in recent versions of Windows to reduce piracy and consequently your only option now is to use Sysprep.

Sysprep does remove licensing and machine specific information, but it does not remove applications. If the applications are correctly packaged and installed, they should self heal any user profile content for any user of the computer.
