I could be jumping in the middle here, but in what way doesn't it work?
This code works for me:

        int bufLen = 256; // we suppose this is enough
        void* sidBuf = new char[bufLen];
        int sidLen = 0;

        void* pToken = PsReferencePrimaryToken(PsGetCurrentProcess());
        if (!pToken) ... error ...

        NTSTATUS ntstatus = ObOpenObjectByPointer(pToken, 0, 0, TOKEN_QUERY,
0, KernelMode, &handle);
        if (!NT_SUCCESS(ntstatus))  ... error ...

        TOKEN_USER* user = static_cast<TOKEN_USER*>(sidBuf);
        ULONG tokenInfoLen;
        ntstatus = ZwQueryInformationToken(handle, TokenUser, user, bufLen,
&tokenInfoLen);
        if (!NT_SUCCESS(ntstatus)) ... error ...

        assert(tokenInfoLen <= bufLen); // else we would have got an error,
right?
        assert(user->User.Sid == user+1); // SID is in buffer just past
TOKEN_USER structure

        sidLen = tokenInfoLen - sizeof (TOKEN_USER);
        memmove(sidBuf, user->User.Sid, sidLen); // shuffle down the buffer

Naturally, this returns the id of the thread that's running it.
If you execute this in DriverEntry, you're running in some
thread in the system process, which is not related to
the thread which executed the Win32 StartService call.
