This is just a quick little post to let you know that the current version for Sidder is bumped to 2.6.
New in this version:
- Sorting the Size column now actually sorts correctly
- Sorting the Last Change column now actually sorts correctly
- Open Sourced
This will also be my last release of Sidder. I know a lot of you still use it, but for me it is time to let this little gem go.
If anyone wants to pick this up and build their own version of Sidder, or build extra functionality into this little tool, I have released the code on Github.
All I ask is to leave the About box in the project, and leave it unmodified and accessible in the tool of course.
For those of you who have never used Sidder or maybe would like to know more about this tool, check out the other posts for Sidder:
Sidder: Quickly see which User Profile Disk maps to which Domain User
Sidder v2.0: Quickly see which User Profile Disk maps to which Domain User (and more)
You can find the source code in Github: https://github.com/msfreaks/Sidder.
If you just want the lastest .exe file, you can download it from my OneDrive: Sidder v2.6
Thank you all for all Sidder support in the last couple of years!
Until next time,
Arjan
30+ years experience in Microsoft powered environments. Enjoy automating stuff using powershell. In my free time (hah! as if there is any) I used to hunt achievements and gamerscore on anything Xbox Live enabled (Windows Mobile, Windows 8, Windows 10, Xbox 360 and Xbox One). Recently I picked up my Lego addiction again.

A nice feature would be to allow cut and paste from the table or output the results to a CSV file. That would make it possible to do some quick Powershell queries against AD to figure out which users are disabled (and optionally deleting the UPD file from powershel as well).
I second the comment by Paul-Andre Panon. Need this to help find old profile disk for terminated employees.
Hi Arjan. Nice tool, thank you for it.
Unfortunately there is a bug in new versions as you changed the way how to retrieve [username]. Older versions displayed [domain\SamAccountName] which worked correctly for accounts from different domains.
New versions displays user as UPN but for local domain only. Accounts from different domains are shown as [SID Resolve Error].
So sticking with the v2.0 where account resolving works correctly and also shows info about domain what UPN format doesn’t offer (UPN suffix can differ).
Anyway thank you for your tool, unfortunately as project is abandoned, I don’t expect any fix for it, right? :)
Thank you
Hi temp0,
Since I no longer develop the project, I will not try to fix it.
Strange though, since I changed nothing in the user-resolving in this version. I may have set the .net version slightly higher than the 2.0 version, which results in using different .net dlls for example for the Active Directory dlls.
You could try to download the source code into Visual Studio (Community Edition is free!) and compile it for .net 4.5.
Fixed in version 2.7, which is now available via the GitHub repo.
You can now choose between the two formats
Nice program but it only lacks 2 lines of powershell code + button:
$ses = New-CIMSession –Computername dfs1n
Get-SMBOpenFile -CIMSession $ses | where {$_.Path –like “*.vhdx”} | Close-SMBOpenFile -CIMSession $ses
Hello
i can get the link to the version Sidder V2.0?
I can’t find anywhere …
The Tool does not start anymore, tried it on Win 10 and Server 2016, no error , no popup. I remember using it without problems recently
Hi Arjan. Great tool!
I am doing an in-place upgrade of our RDS environment but it fails due to issues with user profiles/disks on migration. Anyways we run the UPDs on a network share located on the RDS broker. I am thinking to just set up a new broker but wondering if the new GUID will affect the upd disks and their mapping to the users or maybe have SID resolve error?
Hi Jonathan,
The UPD filenames have nothing to do with any GUIDs. The SID part in the filename maps to that user’s Active Directory SID. You should be fine on that part.
Hi Arjan, Thanks for quick response.
Ok so guess there shouldn’t be a problem to attach the disk where we have the UPD on to a new server.
Another thing, if AD users are deleted will it remove their UPD disk from the server or will it remain there with “SID Resolve error”? I can see a few of those.
Disks will NOT be deleted when you delete a user.
Hi Arjan,
Love this application you’ve developed.
Not sure what happened to the previous exe I downloaded but I no longer have it.
Seems like your onedrive link died.
Could I ask for a new link perhaps?
Thank you,
Benny
Hi Benny,
The link worked fine for me, but here’s a new one anyway: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsW_17cdkibqlMAft4x3TpcpmLL86Q?e=80bgLP
Cheers
And that link doesn’t work. Why not just put it on github instead of posting dead one drive links?
Thanks, i downloaded file/
cheers
[…] you need to download Sidder which is a small app the helps you determine who owns each UPD from here… You should have a list of UPDs and under the Username column will be the owner of that UPD like the […]
Brilliant, Thank you. I’m crap with code so thank you for the download. Great Tool.
Hello Arjan,
I’m a developper and I wrote a software similar than your Sidder.
I added information about UVHD like Max size and real free size in the vhdx partition. And possibility to Grow and Compact a vhdx file.
I look for your email but didn’t find it.
I connected to you with linkedin.
You can download it here http://f.edii.fr/bbSidder.exe

I like this feature very much but the one thing that I think could be better is when we open the sider so it applies in all the tabs open in chrome, if it will apply only on that tab in which I want it then that would be very nice. Suppose I have open many tabs in google and I have open a sider on one tab then it will automatically be there in other tabs too, so it should not be like that. So please if you can make this change that you be great help.
