get machine SID (including primary domain controller)

Question

I need to get machine SID (not computer account\'s SID) in C#. Computer is specified be host name, it is\'t necessarily local computer and it can be domain computer or workg

Answer 1

It appears that for most computers you do the following:

LookupAccountName("", "ComputerName", ...); ConvertSidToStringSid(...)

But for domain controllers you have to add a dollar sign to the computer name parameter, and then delete the last segment in the returned SID.
