Re: how can I find the domain name if I have the domain sid?

Can you create a SecurityIdentifier and then call Translate on it to get an
NTAccount? I haven't tried that with a domain SID.

Otherwise, you might have to search for the object by its SID with an LDAP
query (which should be pretty easy too).

This domain could be in my current forest or in a foreign forst. The
DirectoryContext requires domain name but I only have the domain side. How
can I do this in .net 2, vs2005, using C# for a windows applicaiton?
Thank
you.
