Hi,

Download sddlparse tool from http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/files/folders/guyt/entry70399.aspx

Create .vbs file with below code:

strSDDLParse = "C:\Tools\SDDLParse.exe"
strSDDL = "D:PAI(A;OICI;0x1201bf;;;S-1-5-21-1216582894-834684500-1334827815-316441)(A;OICIIO;FA;;;CO)(A;OICI;FA;;;SY)(A;OICI;FA;;;S-1-5-21-1216582894-834684500-1334827815-458061)"
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objExec = objShell.Exec(strSDDLParse & " " & strSDDL)
While objExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 100
Wend
WScript.Echo objExec.StdOut.ReadAll

Edit the code accordingly and specify the SDDL string to convert

Thanks,

Nadeem
