I am looking for an easy way to get the SID for the current Windows user account. I know I can do it through WMI, but I don't want to go that route.

Apologies to everybody that answered in C# for not specifying it's C++. :-)

c# c++ windows winapi sid

ATL::CAccessToken accessToken;
ATL::CSid currentUserSid;
if (accessToken.GetProcessToken(TOKEN_READ | TOKEN_QUERY) &&
    accessToken.GetUser(&currentUserSid))
    return currentUserSid.Sid();
