This is the command to display the SIDs of all user accounts on the system. Step 1: Click on the Windows icon at your desktop, and then click the Windows PowerShell Admin option from the pop-up menu.
Step 2: In the next window, type the following command and press the Enter key to carry out the operation. Then, you will get the results as shown in the picture below. Here Are Steps. The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that is used to store low-level settings for the Microsoft Windows operating system and applications that utilize the Registry.
Here is a full guide for you. If you are prompted with confirm window, just allow the operation. Step 2: After opening Registry Editor , follow the path below to get to the destination.
Then, you will see all users and the corresponding SIDs. The results are shown as picture below. No two domains in an enterprise share the same domain identifier. The last item in the series of subauthority values -Y n is the relative identifier. It distinguishes one account or group from all other accounts and groups in the domain. No two accounts or groups in any domain share the same relative identifier. SIDs for built-in accounts and groups always have the same domain identifier value: This value identifies the domain Builtin , which exists on every computer that is running a version of the Windows Server operating system.
It is never necessary to distinguish one computer's built-in accounts and groups from another computer's built-in accounts and groups because they are local in scope. They are local to a single computer, or in the case of domain controllers for a network domain, they are local to several computers that are acting as one. Built-in accounts and groups need to be distinguished from one another within the scope of the Builtin domain.
Therefore, the SID for each account and group has a unique relative identifier. A relative identifier value of is unique to the built-in Administrators group. No other account or group in the Builtin domain has a SID with a final value of No other domain in the enterprise uses this value as its domain identifier. No other account or group in the domain has a SID with a final value of When accounts and groups are stored in an account database that is managed by a local Security Accounts Manager SAM , it is fairly easy for the system to generate a unique relative identifier for each account and in a group that it creates on a stand-alone computer.
The SAM on a stand-alone computer can track the relative identifier values that it has used before and make sure that it never uses them again. In a network domain, however, generating unique relative identifiers is a more complex process.
Windows Server network domains can have several domain controllers. Each domain controller stores Active Directory account information. This means that, in a network domain, there are as many copies of the account database as there are domain controllers. In addition to this, every copy of the account database is a master copy. New accounts and groups can be created on any domain controller. Changes that are made to Active Directory on one domain controller are replicated to all other domain controllers in the domain.
The process of replicating changes in one master copy of the account database to all other master copies is called a multimaster operation. The process of generating unique relative identifiers is a single-master operation. One domain controller is assigned the role of relative identifier RID master, and it allocates a sequence of relative identifiers to each domain controller in the domain.
When a new domain account or group is created in one domain controller's replica of Active Directory, it is assigned a SID.
The relative identifier for the new SID is taken from the domain controller's allocation of relative identifiers. When its supply of relative identifiers begins to run low, the domain controller requests another block from the RID master.
Each domain controller uses each value in a block of relative identifiers only once. The RID master allocates each block of relative identifier values only once. This process assures that every account and group created in the domain has a unique relative identifier. It also assigns the new object a globally unique identifier GUID , which is a bit value that is unique not only in the enterprise, but also across the world.
For example, the GUID is one of an object's properties that is published in the global catalog. Searching the global catalog for a User object GUID produces results if the user has an account somewhere in the enterprise. In fact, searching for any object by ObjectGUID might be the most reliable way of finding the object you want to locate. When an object is assigned a GUID, it keeps that value for life. If a user moves from one domain to another, the user gets a new SID.
The SID for a group object does not change because groups stay in the domain where they were created. However, if people move, their accounts can move with them. If the administrator does this, the User object for the account needs a new SID. The relative identifier portion of a SID is unique relative to the domain; so if the domain changes, the relative identifier also changes. Before the new value is written to the property, the previous value is copied to another property of a User object, SIDHistory.
This property can hold multiple values. When a user signs in and is successfully authenticated, the domain authentication service queries Active Directory for all the SIDs that are associated with the user, including the user's current SID, the user's old SIDs, and the SIDs for the user's groups. All these SIDs are returned to the authentication client, and they are included in the user's access token.
If you allow or deny users' access to a resource based on their jobs, you should allow or deny access to a group, not to an individual.
That way, when users change jobs or move to other departments, you can easily adjust their access by removing them from certain groups and adding them to others. However, if you allow or deny an individual user access to resources, you probably want that user's access to remain the same no matter how many times the user's account domain changes. The SIDHistory property makes this possible. When a user changes domains, there is no need to change the access control list ACL on any resource.
The values of certain SIDs are constant across all systems. They are created when the operating system or domain is installed. They are called well-known SIDs because they identify generic users or generic groups. There are universal well-known SIDs that are meaningful on all secure systems that use this security model, including operating systems other than Windows. In addition, there are well-known SIDs that are meaningful only on Windows operating systems.
The following table lists the predefined identifier authority constants. The first four values are used with universal well-known SIDs, and the last value is used with well-known SIDs in Windows operating systems designated in the Applies To list.
The Identifier authority column shows the prefix of the identifier authority with which you can combine the RID to create a universal well-known SID. The following table lists the well-known SIDs. The following table describes changes in SID implementation in the Windows operating systems that are designated in the list. Capabilities represent an unforgeable token of authority that grants access to resources Examples: documents, camera, locations etc Any Capability SID added to Windows by first or third-party applications will be added to this location.

All values up to, but not including, the last value in the series collectively identify a domain in an enterprise.
This part of the series is called the domain identifier. The last value in the series, which is called the relative identifier RID , identifies a particular account or group relative to a domain. A security identifier to be replaced by the security identifier of the user who created a new object.
A security identifier to be replaced by the primary-group SID of the user who created a new object. A group that represents the current owner of the object. A group that includes all service processes configured on the system.
