Re: Retreive Username from Security ID

There are calls to translate names, such as from sid to username.
However, if on the export-from machine you are only seeing these
as SIDs in the user interface that is because no translation to display
names is possible (account/group deleted, from domain no longer
existing or no longer trusted, machine removed from domain, etc.)

Hi,

I've reinstalled files from a computer to another (better). All is working
fine, but I've got some problems with security user.

On the old computer there were many local group. Now on the new one, I've
recreated the local group but, of course, it's not the name SID.
I've used the getsid ressource toolkit software to get old sid and new sid
and then use subinacl to change them.

My problem is that there is some SID that I can't find. So it there a way
(may be a vbscript) to get username from SID ?

thx
