It sounds like whatever interface you are using resolves them to names if it can. If it comes back as a SID it is probably for a deleted user or a user on the other side of a failed trust.
You can try to do it manually with sidtoname (http://www.joeware.net/win/free/tools/sidtoname.htm) but mostly likely it won't be able to resolve either. You can determine if it is a deleted user versus domain issue by chopping the RID off the end and sending that into sidtoname. E.g.

I then get the members of the group with my $grp = $pcGroup->Members(); Most of the members return as names, but I get a few that look like this: S-1-5-21-3005802260-766035279-3743273540-12405 I assume this is the SID(?) How do I go from this to the name? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
