Hello Zubin,

Here is how you will be able to remove a hardware SID in an ad.

• You will go to the Ntdsutil command prompt and then type Security Account Management, and then press Enter.
• After that go to the Security Account Maintenance prompt, and then type connect to server <DNS Name Of Server> and then press Enter. 
• Still at the Security Account Maintenance prompt, you will need to type cleanup duplicate sid and then press Enter. You will get a confirmation of the removal.
• At the Security Account Maintenance prompt, you will have to type q and then press Enter.
• And then go to the Ntdsutil command prompt and type q and then press Enter.
