Here's a little vbscript to read the current user SID. I know it may have been quicker to use the ADSI WinNT provider instead of WMI but the WinNT provider doesn't return the user's SID in a humain readable form.
Function GetCurrentUserSID
Const wbemFlagReturnImmediately = &h10
Const wbemFlagForwardOnly = &h20
Const ComputerName = "."
Dim WshNetwork, objWMIService, colItems, objItem
Dim strUserDomain, strUserName
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strUserDomain = WshNetwork.UserDomain
strUserName = WshNetwork.UserName
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & ComputerName & "\root\CIMV2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_UserAccount "&_
"WHERE (Domain="""&strUserDomain&""" AND Name="""&strUserName&""")", "WQL", _
wbemFlagReturnImmediately + wbemFlagForwardOnly)
For Each objItem In colItems
GetCurrentUserSID = objItem.SID
Next
Set colItems = Nothing
Set objWMIService = Nothing
Set WshNetwork=Nothing
End Function
The function should return a string that look like "S-1-5-21-1106520001-3238835185-2771580065-500". This is a SID.
