Howard,
I was going by Shawn's definition, taking the third and fourth character as the SubAuthority count. The fifth through sixteenth, listed as Identifier Authority does not appear in the formatted SID.
quote:

; 01 - Revision
; 05 - SubAuthority Count
; 000000000005 - Identifier Authority
; 15000000 - SubAuthority 1 (DOMAIN INDENTIFIER)
; DCF4DC3B - SubAuthority 2 (DOMAIN INDENTIFIER)
; 1525AF47 - SubAuthority 3 (DOMAIN INDENTIFIER)
; A837D665 - SubAuthority 4 (DOMAIN INDENTIFIER)
; F4010000 - SubAuthority 5 (RID)
If you have it on good authority, please share it with me.

I was aware that the value is stored as hex, but decided that it would be unlikely to exceed the value of 10 so no conversion would be necessary.
