I am trying to find information on how to fully break down a SID in Windows. Every user and computer account is given a SID when it is created in AD. I have found some info on SID on the web on interpreting SID's and the logon types.


What I need is to learn how determine from the SID what process, user or computer the SID belongs to. Any info on finding out the SID owner would be gratly appreciacted.
