So that is why you use either sidtoname or adfind from joeware... My EULA is use it how like, if you make a few million though remember to buy a few joewear thongs. :)
With sidtoname, it does a basic SID Lookup, Sidtoname S-1-5-blahblahblah machine You don't have to specify the machine, that just allows you to specify a specific machine to do the resolution on which is great to use if testing a SID that you can't resolve locally for various reasons. With adfind, it just queries the default forests main SID values adfind -sc adsid:S-1-5-blahblahblah Or if you looking for an adam sid adfind -h adamserver:port -sc adamsid:s-1-blahblahblah -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Bradley, CPA aka Ebitz - SBS Rocks [MVP] Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 10:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Easiest way to convert a SID to an account name?
