Find Out Windows SID (Security Identifier) of a Windows Machine:


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.
