Thanks for the help, syphilis.

In the typical win32 way, things don't seem to be behaving as specified. Appending the dollar sign gives an error, and using the computer name seems to return a domain SID.

I'm working on a system that's not a member of a domain, with username "shop_user" and "system name" is "SHOP_02". FWIW, I'm testing on Windows XP systems with ActiveState Perl 5.8.8.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Win32::Security::SID;

my @SIDTYPE = qw(
    ERROR
  SidTypeUser
  SidTypeGroup 
  SidTypeDomain
  SidTypeAlias
  SidTypeWellKnownGroup
  SidTypeDeletedAccount
  SidTypeInvalid
  SidTypeUnknown
  SidTypeComputer
  SidTypeLabel
);


my ( $system, $account );

$account = Win32::LoginName;
$system  = Win32::NodeName;

GetSID( $system, "$system\\$account");
GetSID( $system, $account);

GetSID( $system, $system);
GetSID( $system, "$system\\");
GetSID( $system, "\\$system");
GetSID( $system, "SYSTEM\\$system"); 
GetSID( $system, "\$$system"); 
GetSID( $system, "$system\$"); 
GetSID( $system, "$system\\\$"); 


sub GetSID {
    my $system = shift;
    my $account = shift;
    my $domain = shift;
    
    no warnings 'uninitialized';
    my ( $sid, $sidtype );

    Win32::LookupAccountName( $system, $account, $domain, $sid, $sidty
+pe );

    my $sidstring = Win32::Security::SID::ConvertSidToStringSid( $sid 
+); 
    print 
        "\n",
        "$system - $account - $domain\n",
        "SID: $sidstring\n",
        "SIDTYPE: $SIDTYPE[$sidtype]\n";
    ;

}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
