Hi Chris,

Let me understand this, and correct me if I am wromg.

You are seeing SIDs instead of account names for specific containers from
some computers on your network, or do the accounts not show up at all?

If you are only seeing the SIDs then you might want to double check the
communication between the computer in question and the domain controller.

A misconfigured DNS server setting or misadjusted time synchronization
setting can affect the behavior of identifying objects withing the domain.
Double check any differences that exist between these computers and other
systems that function correctly on the domain.

I hope this helps
