How to tranlate SID from Windows event

Hi Splunkers,

we need to analyze events with code 4662 that contains accessed AD objects, unfortunately object values are presented as IDs (example - %{bf967a86-0de6-11d0-a285-00aa003049e2}, like it is presented in EventViewer).

  • Will an attribute evt_resolve_ad_obj = 1 translate IDs (Object Name, Object Type) into names? OR it converts only Security ID?
  • Is there any suggestion how to translate those IDs to be presented as readable names in EventViewer directly?

You are correct, you need the evt_resolve_ad_obj = 1 setting and it will resolve EVERYTHING.

Thanks,and I've found a new detail in documentation, I'm afraid with our GUIDs will not work, but have to try:

" Splunk software cannot translate SIDs that are not in the format S-1-N-NN-NNNNNNNNNN-NNNNNNNNNN-NNNNNNNNNN-NNNN"

I have never seen SIDs that did not get resolved.

DIdn't get to prove, because we've decided to grab sids and guids via ldapsearch and format lookup.
But thanks, accepting!
