I noticed the following: Suppose that we have a server called "SMALLSERVER" working as a PDC for "SMALLDOMAIN**". When I enter "net getlocalsid" I get the following output: SID for domain SMALLSERVER is: S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx But when I enter "net getdomainsid" I get: SID for local machine SMALLSERVER is: S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx SID for domain SMALLDOMAIN is: S-1-5-21--xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx Is this a bug or is it by design? It is somewhat confusing. Shouldn't the output of "net getlocalsid" be "SID for *local machine* SMALLSERVER" instead of "SID for domain SMALLSERVER"? Maybe I am being picky but that got me confused for a while when trying to debug a malfunctioning server... Thank you!
