Security identifiers (SIDs)

1. Dump the user list to a text file with the NET USERS command or with Addusers.exe.
2. Modify this text file to remove unwanted information (headers, and so forth).
3. Modify the resulting list of user names into a batch file, using the GETSID resource kit utility to translate each user name into a SID. Redirect the output to a text file.
4. When you encounter a SID, search the text file (created previously) for that SID. This will place you on the line with the user's name.
