My PowerShell command is working fine as below :
PS C:\Users\username> whoami /user
USER INFORMATION
----------------
User Name SID
================ ==============================================
wip\username S-1-5-21-57989841-616248376-1811674531-4551702
But when I try to select only SID, it is showing blank
PS C:\Users\username> whoami /user | Select-Object "User information"
User information
----------------
blank
I am expecting "S-1-5-21-57989841-616248376-1811674531-4551702" instead of blank
CodePudding user response:
whoami
is not a PowerShell cmdlet - it's an executable - so the output is text, not an object you can manipulate with Select-Object
.
You can get your current SID from:
[System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().User
