When referring to the {{Administrator}} account or {{Guest}} account on Windows, those well-known and commonly used names cannot be referred to with well-known SIDs - see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379649(v=vs.85).aspxBecause these account names may also be localized on international versions of Windows, such as French and German - it can be difficult to write a manifest that doesn't need to vary based on the current OS language.{{Administrator}} and {{Guest}} build on the computer's SID, which varies on an individual computer basis, like:* {{-500}} is appended to the computer SID for the {{Administrator}} account* {{-501}} is appended to the computer SID for the {{Guest}} accountTo make it easier to refer to these accounts universally, regardless of which computer they're run on, whether the accounts have been localized or renamed, a first step would to be produce a Fact value containing the computers SID. There are a number of other SID structures that might be useful to surface as facts based on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc980032.aspx An easy way to do this is to call the [LookupAccountName|https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379159(v=vs.85).aspx] Windows API, passing in the computers name.This value is also stored in the registry at {{HKLM\security\sam\domains\account}} (particularly in the 24 byte span between 272 and 295 in the byte array), if the user has permission to access that key - see http://powershellers.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-get-computer-sid-using.html for more details
