Problem looking up Accounts and SIDs in Active Directory

[Foster, Ken]

I have been unable to look up either Accounts or sids in my Active
Directory. When I use the following code to lookup an account:

        $server = "dc012";
        $user = "joeg";

        Win32::LookupAccountName($server, $user,
                                                $domain,
                                                $sid,
                                                $sidtype
                                        );

$sid returns some unreadable binary number. Do I need to change the type or
do something to it?


When I try the following code to use to lookup a SID, I get the error, "the
security ID structure is invalid":
        $server = "dc012";
        $sid = "S-1-5-21-2132039509-75768842-126092852-2465";

        Win32::LookupAccountSID($server,$sid,
                                                $username,
                                                $domain,
                                                $sidtype
                                        );  

Can anyone help? Thanks.
