Winnt SIDs

Hello,

Is it possible to get a groups string name by its SID??!!

ex:
SID = 2123456
GroupName = PokerGroup

Is this possible?? Please do not answer this post by saying just yes or I will hunt you down and shoot you!

Hi,

LookupAccountSid
The LookupAccountSid function accepts a security identifier (SID) as input. It retrieves the name of the account for this SID and the name of the first domain on which this SID is found.

BOOL LookupAccountSid(
LPCTSTR lpSystemName, // name of local or remote computer
PSID Sid, // security identifier to lookup
LPTSTR Name, // buffer to receive account name
LPDWORD cbName, // size of account name buffer
LPTSTR ReferencedDomainName,
// buffer to receive name of referenced domain
LPDWORD cbReferencedDomainName,
// size domain name buffer
PSID_NAME_USE peUse // receives type of SID
);

You can use the above API call to solve your problem ....

Hope this helps...
