SID stands for
Security Identifier; it is a security principle of the Microsoft Windows
network. If you have
created a
windows based network then each computer on the network will have a unique SID
and that SID is used to identify an object, such as, a user or a group of users
in the network. Whenever any specific user in the network tries to access any
particular resource, the SID of the requesting user is checked to verify
whether the user is authorized to access the resource or not.
Find out the
SID of a Windows Computer:
It
is very hard to find out the SID of the computer because you need to be a
registry geek for this purpose. Instead, you can try out PsGetSid, a free
command line utility which lets you view and change the SID.
Download
it from the Micosoft website, and then open the command prompt in the
administrator mode and run the following command to find out the SID of your
machine.
