Hi.

Is there any tool to translate a SID to a username, or whatever the SID is
representing.

you can install acctinfo.dll which you find in the resource kit. that
will add a tab in active directory users and computers which will show
further info as well as the user SID.

Barabba, my post was in repsonse to MN's post when he/she said:

"There are no sid2name at sysinternals"

I responded just letting him/her know that the name was incorrect and
provided him/her with the correct link to it.

As for acctinfo.dll, that is the preferred tool. Thanks for pointing that
out.
