Get objectGUID and objectSid for Active Directory user

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

1Thanks, I used Get-ADUser USERNAME to get the information (splitting the Properties up cut off the ends of the values). – pkr – 10 years ago

1You can generally do a | -select -expand SOMETHING and get the item alone. – Unfundednut – 10 years ago

Thanks! is objectGUID different from objectId that is returned in the Get-MsolUser cmdlet? – asgs – 8 years ago

1@asgs That looks like a 365 command which I don't have access to so can't help sorry. – Unfundednut – 8 years ago

For all user user below powershell command and get it in csv

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=USA Users,DC=yourdomain,DC=net"  | Export-csv -path C:\usersproprieties.csv
