Hi all
I have been looking at and playing with SIDs for Win2K/XP. I am trying
to emulate the functionality of Sysinternals's /PsGetSid.
/So far I have got two functions - GetComputerName (which is trivial
and returns the computer name, the same as SYS(0)) and GetSID which
works like this:
? GetSID("Foxpertise")
S-1-5-21-57989841-1801674531-839522115
? GetSID("Paul Newton")
S-1-5-21-57989841-1801674531-839522115-1000
GetComputerName calls GetComputername in kernel32
GetSID uses all of the following function calls:
LocalFree IN kernel32
LocalSize IN kernel32
LocalAlloc IN kernel32
GetUserName IN advapi32
LookupAccountName IN advapi32
ConvertSidToStringSid IN advapi32
RtlMoveMemory IN kernel32
Most of what I needed was here:
http://www.news2news.com/vfp/?group=-1&function=998
What I want to do now is the reverse/converse ie ?
SIDStringToName("S-1-5-21-57989841-1801674531-839522115-1000") should
return "Paul Newton"
In order to do this I know I will need, amongst others, the following
functions:
LookupAccountSid IN advapi32
ConvertStringSidToSid IN advapi32
I will probably need some other functions as well and at this point I am
stuck. News2News does not have an entry for ConvertStringSidToSid and
while it has has an entry for LookupAccountSid I am not able to get to
the accompanying code examples of its use.
Any help would be much appreciated - and of course, if anybody thinks
that these functions might be useful, I'm willing to out them on Ed's
download page.
