For example, the local Administrators group is actually called BUILTIN\Administrators. With a canonical username, you can unambiguously compare principals on objects that contain user/group information. If unable to resolve a name into an identity, `Resolve-IdentityName` returns nothing. If you want to get full identity information (domain, type, sid, etc.), use `Resolve-Identity`. In Carbon 2.0, you can also resolve a SID into its identity name. The `SID` parameter accepts a SID in SDDL form as a `string`, a `System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier` object, or a SID in binary form as an array of bytes. If the SID no longer maps to an active account, you'll get the original SID in SDDL form (as a string) returned to you. .LINK ConvertTo-SecurityIdentifier .LINK Resolve-Identity .LINK Test-Identity .LINK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.principal.securityidentifier.aspx .LINK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379601.aspx .OUTPUTS string .EXAMPLE Resolve-IdentityName -Name 'Administrators' Returns `BUILTIN\Administrators`, the canonical name for the local Administrators group. #> [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName='ByName')] [OutputType([string])] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ParameterSetName='ByName',Position=0)] [string] # The name of the identity to return. $Name, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ParameterSetName='BySid')] # Get an identity's name from its SID.
