Need help retrieving computer's SID or other Unique ID

[alistairpaul]

Good Morning All -

Does anyone have a code snippet to help me retrieve the SID of the computer, not the current logged-in user? I'm trying to gather some system and software information from a few computers, scripted, but I need to find a unique identifier for each system without the user typing in the "Asset ID" of their computer each time it runs.

Thanks so much!

If these computers are on a MS network in the same domain then all's you need to id each computer uniquely is the computer name. Which I am sure is not that hard to figure out.

Can't check now but I think you need to investigate the "Environ" function / method. Type Environ in a code snippet and hit F1 - should point you in the right direction.
