I'd be difficult to represent the HEX version of a SID in a script in anything other than a string. &nbsp; Where are you getting this SID from?<br />
<br />
I'd be a rather simple task to write a small application that translated a string of hex values into a SID-formated string. &nbsp;I'll write you one...

I have a quick but relatively complex question<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Environment - Native Mode, Win 2000 Active Directory.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I am looking for a method to convert an active directory HEX value of a User's SID into is Decimal value<br />
&nbsp;<br />
For example a user account value in the registry can be displayed as S-1-5-21-1390067357-484763<wbr />869-180167<wbr />4531-3404 as it's Decimal value or 15 15 52 da be 9d 1c e4 e8 dd 6b 63 5f 23 d4 c as it's HEX Value.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
What I would like to achieve is a way to convert between the 2, using script. That way I can setup a scrip to 1st Poll a resource to gain the HEX value of a SID and then resolve that to the DEC value so that I can compare it against another Resource.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
If there is any function in either VBScript, WMI, WSH or ADSI that would be beneficial.

Convert Hex SID to Dec SID

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
