# query

`sid::query` can be used to query an object by its SID or name. It has the following command line argument:

* `/sam`: the `sAMAccountName`
* `/sid`: the security identifier
* `/domain`: the domain name. If not specified, the current domain will be used

```
mimikatz # sid::query /sam:m3g9tr0n
