FYI, note that getting a SID is as simple as: >>> import win32security >>> user_sid = win32security.LookupAccountName(None, "Administrator")[0] >>> str(user_sid) 'PySID:S-1-5-21-...' >>> (I'm not currently logged in as Administrator) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
