Sorry, forgot to copy the group. Here's what I sent to Barry: The Win32 API to do that is ConvertStringSidToSid:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376402(v=vs.85).as px My Perl isn't strong enough to know how to call this from Perl, but I'm sure someone stronger in Perl could handle it. -----Original Message----- From: perl-win32-users-boun...@listserv.activestate.com [mailto:perl-win32-users-boun...@listserv.activestate.com] On Behalf Of Barry Brevik Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 2:30 PM To: perl Win32-users Subject: Help with LookupAccountSID (again) Previously I had asked for help with Win32::LookupAccountSID(). Specifically, the call requires that the SID be in a binary format. One helpful user pointed me to this: http://code.activestate.com/lists/perl-win32-users/26301/ All of that works, except the article's author is first getting the binary SID from the Win32::LookupAccountName() call, which is a chicken and egg thing. I need to know how to convert a SID like this: '{S-1-5-21-1406052347-744958519-16733337701-1424}' ...into its equivalent binary form for use in the Win32::LookupAccountSID() call. Does anyone out there know how to do this?
