Find Group-Name for SID

[Leberschnitzel]

Hi everyone,

I have an easy problem: I need to schedule a task for the group "Users". This works nicely on English PCs, but on German and French it doesn't since the users group isn't called users there. Using the SID also doesn't work since the scheduler doesn't allow SID use in the CMD...

Long story short: This doesn't seem to work:

$objWMIService = ObjGet ("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\cimv2")
$UserGroup = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select Name from Win32_Group Where SID = 'S-1-5-32-545'")
MsgBox(0,"",$UserGroup)

I just get an empty popup instead of, like I hoped, the name of the users group.

Any idea how I can make this work easy?

Thank you very much for your time

Kind Regards

Christian

$objWMIService = ObjGet ("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\cimv2")
   $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select Name from Win32_Group Where SID = 'S-1-5-32-545'")
   For $GroupNames in $colItems
      MsgBox (0,"",$GroupNames.Name)
      ExitLoop
   Next

This works now quick and very dirty. I exit the loop there because otherwise it seems to run for a very long time.
