Question : Any faster method in vb.net  to convert string with left and Ucase

Hi,
need to convert this to vb.net function with substring :
  If UCase(Left(.Item(1, i).Value, Len("RESULTS_" & sender.Item(2, intRowIndex).Value & "_"))) = UCase("RESULTS_" & sender.Item(2, intRowIndex).Value & "_") Then

Any suggestions?

If you clone the machines, probably you want to generate a newsid (newsid  whas a good tool, but as expected this tool is not available anymore from the website: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897418.aspx, you can still download it from other sources like softpedia: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/NewSID-Download-41001.html).

Remove the machine from the domain (do this when the machine is from the network), do a newsid and then enter the domain again.
