There is a utility called “user2sid” that you can download. Just run it and pass it a username, and it will spit out the SID. A quick Google will turn up download links

Thanks for the information. Is there an easy way to determine which SID belongs to which user? Terri Tim Evans said the following on 1/5/2009 12:52 PM: Regedit can do that just fine. HKCU is just a pointer to HKEY_USERS\<sid> for the currently logged on user. It will be different for each user that logs on to the workstation. …Tim -----Original Message----- From: Terri Esham [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 9:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Utility to Access all Registry Keys remotely Does anyone know of a utility/tool whereby you can remotely access all the various HKey registry areas? Specifically, we need to access HKey_Current_User.
