NTAccount.Trans late to SecurityIdentif ier for <domain>\Admini strat

Hi!
Can anyone please explain me why following code gives an SecurityExcepti on
"System.Securit y.SecurityExcep tion: The name provided is not a properly
formed account name."?

-- code start --

System.Security .Principal.NTAc count ntAccount = new
System.Security .Principal.NTAc count(@"<domain >\Administrator s");
System.Security .Principal.Secu rityIdentifier sid =
(System.Securit y.Principal.Sec urityIdentifier )ntAccount.Tran slate(typeof(Sy stem.Security.P rincipal.Securi tyIdentifier));

-- code end --

where "<domain>" in "<domain>\Admin istrators" is your Active Directory Domain.

Note:
<domain>\Admini strators is a built-In group. It is visible trough 'Find'
dialog in Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-In.

Just thought None as the first argument would be both handy and mnemonic, signifying no translation, but allowing easy expression of deleting characters, e.g., s = s.translate(None, 'badcharshere') Regards, Bengt Richter

I'm sure this is a stretch, but is there some kind of component that I could install to translate from English to Spanish on the fly? I have a lot of equipment features and specifications that I could manually translate, but that's labor intensive. I know there are services were I can paste a URL and it will translate the page, but I don't want to send users away from the site, unless I could do so transparently. Does anyone else have...

Hello group I'm trying to list the users and groups who has read access to a file. I use .NET 2.0 and FileInfo.GetAccessControl().GetAccessRules(...) and then loop through the FileSystemAccessRule objects. Using these objects, it is easy to use rule.IdentityReference.Translate(typeof(NTAccount)) to get the NTAccount object. I have noticed that some of the NTAccounts can belong to BUILTIN domains,

Hi, I wanted a reliable way of detecting if a given NTAccount object represents a user account or group account. I was using SecurityIdentifier.IsAccountSid() method but this doesn't work as I expected. It returns true for user accounts and also for groups created by administrator. Right now I am using the WMI class System.Management.ManagementClass to get a list of all local user accounts and am iterating over them to see if the given...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
