Brian,

 

I like Richard's script.  Great stuff to learn from.

 

BUT - just in case you want a compiled tool, check out a fellow MVP's site for tools that will do what you need.  Joe even bills it as the complement to getsid.exe.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Opposite of GETSID.EXE (OT?)

All-

I am looking for a utility (or script) that will translate an account's SID into an account name.  I want to feed the utility (or script) the SID and have the account named returned via the command prompt.

Basically, the tool would do the opposite of getsid.exe (from Win2k Resource Kit).  getsid.exe will give me the SID if I supply the account name.

I've looked around but can't find anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Brian
