Is there any way to use a SID in the WinNT service provider like:

// doesn't work
using (DirectoryEntry groupEntry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://./<SID=S-1-5-32-544>,group"))
{
    
}

or do I need to convert the SID to the group name first?

(Using LDAP is not possible in my case)

When you say that you can't use LDAP, do you mean that you can't use an LDAP-based path? – Martin Nov 12 '20 at 16:36
@Martin the machine is no domain member – marsh-wiggle Nov 12 '20 at 16:37
Thank you for the response. Just to clarify, are you accessing directory entries in a domain then? – Martin Nov 12 '20 at 16:50
@Martin no, I am accessing local accounts on a standalone machine – marsh-wiggle Nov 12 '20 at 16:52
