Show usermame linked to UPD drive

Question

Hi,

I migrate a 2012 RDS farm to a 2019.

The 2012 uses roaming profiles and we set UPD on the 2019 one.

I need to migrate the document folders from the 2012 roaming profiles to the 2019 UPD profiles

As the Users Profiles Disks are named with the SID and not the usernames I am looking for a tool or a script allowing me to link the SIDs to the usernames

I found Sidder was used on 2012 but not maintained anymore and I can't even find a download link

Thanks
Maxime

I don't remember where I got this, but here is a Powershell script that should remove the profiles of deleted user accounts. on a PC

It translates a SID to a user. The -whatif just shows the command to be executed and doesn't actually perform the action.

Get-CimInstance win32_userprofile | foreach {   
    ""  
    $u = $_          # save our user to delete later  
    try {  
        $objSID = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($u.sid) -ErrorAction stop  
        $objUser = $objSID.Translate( [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount])  
        "User={0}" -f $objUser.Value  
        "Path={0}" -f $u.LocalPath  
        "SID={0}" -f $u.SID  
    }  
    catch {  
        "!!!!!Account Unknown!!!!!"  
        "Path={0}" -f $u.LocalPath  
        "SID={0}" -f $u.SID  
        Remove-CimInstance -inputobject $u -Verbose -WhatIf  
    }  
}  

There is also PsGetSid

Thanks for your answers
I found an very convenient script

https://www.jeroentielen.nl/add-username-textfile-microsoft-user-profile-disks-fileshare/

$UPD_Location = "\\FILESERVER.LAB.LOCAL\MS_UPD\WS2016" # The location where the Microsoft User Profile Disks are stored and where the txt files will be created.   
$DomainName = "LAB" # Pre-Windows2000 Domain name. This part will be stripped in the file name as is also contains a "backslash"  
   
#-------------------------------- Script --------------------------------  
   
$Files = gci $UPD_Location -Name  
   
Foreach ($SID in $Files) {  
        If ($SID -match ".vhdx") {  
            $SID = $SID.Substring(5) -replace ".vhdx"  
            If ($SID-match "template") {  
                Write-Host "Template File"  
            } Else {  
                $objSID = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier ($SID)  
                $objUser = $objSID.Translate( [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount])  
                $UserName = $objUSer.Value.trim("$DomainName\")   
                $TextFile = $UPD_Location + "\UVHD-" + $SID + " " + $UserName + ".txt"  
                New-Item $TextFile -ItemType file -Force  
            }  
        }  
}  

Result :

Best
