Tbird800 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) Hey Guys - I am attempting to use the GetAccountSid Function to get the SID of the machine, but I can only get it to return 0. Any ideas? Here is the code I have so far for testing. The help file documentation isn't real helpful. I'm not sure if it has to be an array or something? #Include <Security.au3> $sAccount = @UserName $sSystem = "" $SID = _Security__GetAccountSid($sAccount, $sSystem = "") MsgBox(4096, "Test", $SID) Thanks in advance.

Airwolf Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) _Security_GetAccountSid() returns a binary value in byte structure which isn't easy to work with. Try using _Security_LookupAccountName() instead, then use the index (zero) of the array and it will give you the SID in string format. #Include <Security.au3> $sAccount = @UserName $SID = _Security__LookupAccountName($sAccount) MsgBox(4096, "Test", $SID[0]) Edited July 7, 2008 by Airwolf Certifications: A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+, LPIC-1, MCSA | Languages: AutoIt, C, SQL, .NETBooks: AutoIt v3: Your Quick Guide - $7.99 - O'Reilly Media - September 2007-------->[u]AutoIt v3 Development - newbie to g33k[/u] - Coming Soon - Fate Publishing - Spring 2013UDF Libraries: SkypeCOM UDF Library | ADUC Computers OU Cleanup | Find PixelChecksumExamples: Skype COM Examples - Skype4COMLib Examples converted from VBS to AutoIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbird800 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks! Worked great. I was writing some code to remove saved Internet Explorer passwords as well as prevent any more from being saved in the future. This is what I came up with: If RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "DisablePasswordCaching") = 0 and @OSVersion = "WIN_XP" THEN RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "DisablePasswordCaching", "reg_dword", "1") $sAccount = @UserName $SID = _Security__LookupAccountName($sAccount) FileCopy(@AppDataDir & "\Microsoft\Credentials\" & $SID[0] & "\*.*", @AppDataDir & "\Microsoft\Credentials\") FileDelete(@AppDataDir & "\Microsoft\Credentials\" & $SID[0] & "\*.*") EndIf Maybe this will help someone else. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
