ADSI question

[HiKsFiles]

Hi,

If anyone confortable with Active Directory here, I'd appreciate a little help on a little problem which, i'm sure, is pretty simple in fact.

I need to go back to a user's WinNT profile based on it's unique secure identifier (SID) that's defined in the Assoc-NT-Account property of his Exchange mailbox.

I tried many different ways, but I always get execution error 0x800A000D telling me that the supplied type is not compatible. This is not realy a surprise since I'm passing a "binary blob of data", as microsoft calls it, to the string with which I want to poll the WinNT:// namespace.

I have two questions regarding this:
1- How do I convert this "binary blob of data" back into a regular string?

2- Wheter I need to convert this information back into a regular string or not, what syntax should I use to poll the WinNT:// namespace to bring back the user's NT account information?

Thanx!
