sid Security Identifier Display Utility Version 2.0.0 This utility displays the Sid for the specified user or group. A text Sid may also be supplied as an argument, in which case, the user name associated with that Sid will be displayed. License: -------- This is a free utility. It may be freely used and distributed as long as the copyright information in the program file remains intact. Warranty: --------- This utility is provided "as is". There is no warranty. Usage/Help: ----------- usage: sid [-hnVv?] [-s System] [[Name] ...] Options: h - Help, (this). n - Display the Sid name type along with the account name. s - Specify System name. V - Report version. v - Verbose. Display both name and Sid. ? - Usage. System - The system from which the Sid or account name is to be acquired. Name - The account name for which to acquire a Sid, or the text Sid for which to acquire an account name. If no options are specified, the default behavior is to display current user's Sid from the local machine. Installation: ------------- Installation is simple; just copy the file into a directory listed in the %Path% Environment variable. The distribution also includes debug symbols. This file should be copied into %SystemRoot%\Symbols\Exe, in order for ntsd, (or windbag, I guess), to find it. Note that the .DBG symbol file is needed only if you want to run the utility under a debugger such as ntsd. The file is not needed for any other reason than to make the internal symbols available to the debug program.
