Sorry, from a first glance I thought you were deliberately retrieving the
machine's SID and then
looking for the accounts under it. It appears you have a machine named the
same as the user,
and the call to LookupAccountName is finding the computer name first. Try
passing
\\machine\username instead of just the bare user name.
