I think that you are you referring to SIDs, you can use sid2name from joeware http://home.earthlink.net/~joewarenet/win32/zips/SidToName.zip

Months ago I had upgraded my NT4 PDC and I'm assuming all of these values came from that process. I have deleted a number of old accounts since my upgrade. Is there any way to manually check if that GUID references any current object in AD? Can I safely delete them since they don't "resolve"?
