how can i convert a SID value of a deleted group to a common name?
we have an urgent need to restore 2 deleted security groups, however we only have the SID ID's of the groups. is there a script that can convert this to a common name so that we know which groups to restore from our backup?
many thanks!

thx MK and Subsun, both are excellent approaches, i get zero results when i try to query. perhaps these have passed the tombstone life then.
yeah if they are past the TSL then you won't find them.
Probably.. I think default tombstone lifetime is 180 days, is it deleted before that?

thanks again. looks like this was past the tombstone life, not much we can do here.
