RID, GUID, SID...

[Guest Robert Bollinger]

Hello All -

 

I have a fairely simple question about the nature of SID,RID,GUID. here is

what i understand:

 

SID - Security IDentifier, IDentifies any account (Computer, User, Group).

GUID - Globally unique identifier, is a number that is assigned to each (and

that means any) object in ad.

RID - Relative Identifier - is assigned to each domain controller in the

domain, and therefore is used when new objects are created)

 

here is my question:

 

Do the above read like this: S-XXX-XXX-SID R-XXX-XXX-RID G-XXX-XXX-XXX-GUID?

 

all on the same line or are they 3 sepereate numbers? how do i view all of

these numbers and where are they?

 

Please Advise... and Thank you...
