C:\> sdetable -o register -t XY -c ID -C SDE
Here is a preview of my table in SQL Server in design view with the primary key applied to the ID field:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]11668[/ATTACH]
Right-click on the ID field > Indexes/Keys > choose to Delete this index:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]11669[/ATTACH]
Right-click on the ID field > Indexes/Keys > create a new Clustered index:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]11670[/ATTACH]
Save the changes you have made, then import the table into the SDE geodatabase. Afterwards, the ID field will remain and a OBJECTID field will be created:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]11671[/ATTACH]
Note: The ID field will now be able to contain duplicates.
