Hi,
If anybody could help in getting the SID to domain\user resolution. Thank in advance.

I have a event loged in the application log file with an sid of the user, usually it must show username rather it is showing the SID. I would like to find out, to which user account this SID is pointing to.

Here is a KB article that provides a list of all Well-Known-SIDs. Maybe this helps you out:

If not try the following tool from Daniel Petri's site:
