How to Identify a User Profile in the IIS

To solve problems with a single user in the web environment, you might need to recreate that user profile. To do this, you must identify the user profile within the IIS.

Solution

To identify a user profile within the IIS:

  1. Find the user’s Security Identifier (SID) by running the following command:

    C:\Users\bluecielo.QA>wmic useraccount where name=’bluecielo’ get sid
  2. Using the SID, identify the user within the IIS folder.

  3. Delete or perform the necessary maintenance in the correct profile.
