I got that.  I was asking if the same id is uid *and* pgid.  Sorry
if that wasn't clear.

Here are the first few lines of my "id" output (the entire output is huge, as we make excessive use of AD groups here):

The problem here is the abbreviation in both cases.  What I was looking
for is if your user uid/SID shows up in the token group list as well.
I don't need the full list, but can you please check?

1125370 does not occur anywhere else in the ID output (only as UID).  U074036 also does not appear anywhere else in the ID output (only as UID).

1125370 does not appear anywhere in the whoami output.  However, u074036 does appear twice in the whoami output.  I've included both below. 

User Name: dow\u074036
SID:       S-1-5-21-1060284298-861567501-682003330-76794

Group Name: DOW\U074036
Type:       User
SID:        S-1-5-21-4015118-2039090470-1726288727-4013
Attributes: Mandatory group, Enabled by default, Enabled group

Now this makes no sense to me....I don't understand why "I" am both a user and a group....any thoughts on that?
