Does this reveal anything?

<code>
import _winreg
import wmi

reg = wmi.WMI (namespace="default").StdRegProv
print reg.CheckAccess (
  _winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
  r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList",
  _winreg.KEY_QUERY_VALUE | _winreg.KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS
)
result, sids = reg.EnumKey (
  _winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
  r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList"
)
for sid in sids:
  print sid

</code>

On the other hand, WMI doesn't offer you much here: if you
have a working solution via the Win32 API, then unless you
need to do this on remote machines with specific credentials
(which you can't do with the standard API) then perhaps you
needn't try too hard...
