How to Produce a List of Users and SIDs (177077)

MORE INFORMATION

The following example will show you how to create a text file that contains each Windows NT Domain User listed with the corresponding SID.

The solution outlined in this article uses the following utilities contained in the Windows NT 4.0 Server Resource Kit: Global.exe and Getsid.exe.

1. Make sure that the Global.exe and Getsid.exe utilities are installed on the computer running Windows NT and are accessible through the system's PATH variable.
2. Create a directory on the computer running Windows NT that has read/write permissions assigned to the user account you are logging in with.
3. Create the Listsid.bat, Listsid2.bat, Listsid3.bat, Cleanup.bat and Verify.bat files listed in this article. Create these files in the directory created in Step 2 above.
4. Execute the Listsid.bat file at an MS-DOS command prompt. The command has the following syntax:
   
   LISTSID <Domain Name> <Primary Domain Controller Name>
   
   For Example: LISTSID MyDomain MyPDC
5. Examine the contents of Usersids.txt.
   
   Note: These series of batch files were designed to understand a username that can contain as many as three parts separated by spaces. For example, the following name is valid:
   
   Joe B. Admin
   
   The following name would not be valid: Joe B. Admin II
   
   The three batch files could be modified to support names if necessary.

NOTE: The lines in Listsid.bat and Listsid2.bat that begin with "for /F" are wrapped for readibility. If these lines are not corrected before running, the batch jobs will not work.
