Hi,

Browsing a group on my terminal server PC Local Management I found that the
membership is composed of "users" like
"\S-1-5-21-917267712-1342860078-1792151419-512". I don't know what hapenned
but it doesn't look that some month ago. Now I need to know which users
these SID correspond. Is it any tool for doing that?

Thanks in advance
Faustino

There is a utility to do this called sidtoname from Joeware.net. You can
download it at http://www.joeware.net/win32/zips/SidToName.zip

Use regedit to look at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Each SID listed under there will have a ProfileImagePath that shows you
the user's profile path (and thus their username). Some
