The Win32 API function LookupAccountSid() is used to find 3 the name that corresponds to a SID.

LookupAccountSid() has 2 the following signature:

BOOL LookupAccountSid(LPCTSTR lpSystemName, PSID Sid,LPTSTR Name, LPDWORD cbName,
                       LPTSTR ReferencedDomainName, LPDWORD cbReferencedDomainName,
                       PSID_NAME_USE peUse);
