Get user id on remote computer

I am learning and cannot figure out how to get the below code to work on a remote machine.

I want to get the SID of a specific user on a remote computer.

Below is a snippet of work to get the SID of a logged in user on a local computer. I'm looking for a way to use this to find a specific SID for a remote system. Any help is appreciated.

$currentusersid = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_computersystem |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty Username |
ForEach-Object { ([System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]$_).Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]).Value }

This should give you:

[wmi] "win32_userAccount.Domain='domainname',Name='username'"

Remotely:



Get-WmiObject win32_useraccount -ComputerName remotecomputer -Filter "name = 'username' AND domain = 'domainname'" -Credential $cred

Oldschool Method:

wmic useraccount where (name='username' and domain='domainname') get name,sid

You are probably looking for a cmdlet Invoke-Command

that takes a parameter -Computername

.



Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'whatever' -ScriptBlock {
    $currentusersid = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_computersystem |
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Username |
    ForEach-Object { ([System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]$_).Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]).Value }
}
