Getting SID from EnvGet()

[bobbintb]

i need to get the SID to help me gleam info from the registry properly and i read you can get it with EnvGet() but i don't see a list of variable to use so i cant find it. is there any function to get the SID or will i have to make something up, which will more than likely be ineffective?

Its easy to know what variables are available for envget(): Just open an CMD session and type the set command.

Try this func to retrive the current users SID:

ConsoleWrite(GetUserSID(@ComputerName,@UserName) & @CRLF)

Func GetUserSID($ComputerName,$Username)
    Dim $UserSID, $oWshNetwork, $oUserAccount
    $objWMIService = objGet( "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//"  & $ComputerName & "/root/cimv2")
    $oUserAccounts = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select Name, SID from Win32_UserAccount")
    For $oUserAccount In $oUserAccounts
        If $Username =  $oUserAccount.Name Then Return $oUserAccount.SID
    Next
    Return ""
EndFunc

Since Winmgmt service can be stopped or paused for some reason thus causing the failure of the code posted by Jos, you can use _Security__LookupAccountName() function to get wanted information. Array is returned and you want the first element of it ($array[0]).
