If the object is still tombstoned you can get the name. One way would be to use ADFind from joeware.net<br />
<br />
an example would be<br />
<br />
adfind -showdel -f objectsid=S-1-5-21-1140794<wbr />203-532453<wbr />7521-30232<wbr />41126-1346<wbr />78 name

Is there any other way without a third party tool? Preferably Microsoft tools.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm seeing only the SID number in the folder security permissions. I believe it is because the group has been deleted from the AD. Can I still find out the name of the group that was deleted based on the SID alone?<br />

Hi,

I'm seeing only the SID number in the folder security permissions. I believe it is because the group has been deleted from the AD. Can I still find out the name of the group that was deleted based on the SID alone?



Can I resolve the AD group name base on SID if it has been deleted?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
