[SID answer] To: John Benninghoff , cygwin AT cygwin DOT com In-Reply-To: <20010603170935.85679.qmail@web13903.mail.yahoo.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 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. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psgetsid.shtml --- John Benninghoff wrote: > I want to determine my NT domain numeric ID > (S-123....)but the only way I seem to be able to > discover it is to use makepasswd.
