I found 2 ways that a single user SID can be learned. 
One is by looking in the registry where user settings
are stored by SID under HKEY_USERS.  You may be able
to infer which SID by checking the values of
Environment key.  There is also a freeware utility
called psgetsid.exe which is part of a set of NT
utilities.
