Report on unresolved SIDs

Security Identifiers (SIDs) are character strings used to identify user and group accounts in Active Directory. SIDs become unresolved when users or groups with direct access rights are deleted in Active Directory. By using unresolved SIDs, unauthorized users can access sensitive resources in your system.

The Unresolved SIDs report identifies and lists all unresolved SIDs in your system.
