1. Get the SID of the users on the machine you are logged in:

2. Get SID of a specific user:

wmic useraccount where name="USER" get sid

3. Get user name from a know SID:

wmic useraccount where sid="S-1-5-19-1103459209-877415012-3192124384-2229" get name

Another way is to open your registry editor and locate this key:
