Windows – Get objectGUID and objectSid for Active Directory user

active-directorywindows-server-2008-r2

I can see what the objectGUID and objectSid are for a user, by going to: Active Directory Users and Computers -> The User -> Properties -> Attribute Editor, but it won't let me actually copy the values in string format! I can't even really copy the Hexadecimal value and convert it online since the hex characters are not given in order.

I've tried using ldp.exe but I can't get it to find the user.

Are there any other tricks to getting (and copying!) the objectGUID and objectSid of an Active Directory user?

Is PowerShell an option? If so you can do something along the following.

Get-ADUser USERNAME -Properties * | Select SamaccountName,ObjectSid,ObjectGUID
