Hello,

These are Security Identifiers (SIDs). The system will display a SID when
it cannot resolve the SID to a friendly name.

Sometimes it is a name resolution issue, either within your domain or
between your domain and another domain.

Sometimes the accounts have been deleted. Deleting an account does not
remove it from file system or share permissions.
