if you look at the code i supplied, you'll see that that is precisely where i get the sid from: sid = win32security.ConvertSidToStringSid(win32security.LookupAccountName(None, username)[0]) so win32security.LookupAccountName is not giving me the complete sid for the username. any idea why it isn't doing so? any idea what i'm doing wrong? cheers, raf _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
