I want to retrieve the user AccountName knowing its SID.
The SID is obtained using a WMI query: Select * from Win32_UserProfile, and i'm trying to get the user AccountName using the following query:
Select * from Win32_SID where SID='S-1-5-21-3949351935-1180888718-2463404063-9346'
The ExecQuery method succeeds, but the Next method from IEnumWbemClassObject fails with the error: H80041024 (wbemErrProviderNotCapable).
Any help would be great. Thanks.
As the MSDN documentation states, the Win32_SID WMI class cannot be enumerated.
So, you cannot use the ExecQuery method, instead use the IWbemServices::GetObject function passing the proper WMI object path. something like Win32_SID.SID='S-1-5-82-1036420768-1044797643-1061213386-2937092688-4282445334'
