I think that you are you referring to SIDs, you can use sid2name from

Subject: [ActiveDir] Resolving a GUID


I recently noticed that I have a number of GUIDs listed in my Default Domain
Controllers Policy.  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"?
