如何获得内置Windows“网络服务”帐户的本地化版本？

Question

In order to setup my web application I need to give a full control to a certain folder for a 'NETWORK SERVICE' account. It works fine, but on a non English systems I'm getting System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException . This is because the name of this built-in account is localized for that system (I'm using harcoded value 'NETWORK SERVICE' ). Is there a way to find out programmatically what the localized version of 'NETWORK SERVICE' is?

Answer 1

只需使用此代码：

var account = new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.NetworkServiceSid, null).Translate(typeof(NTAccount)).Value;

Answer 2

I guess you can p/invoke LookupAccountSid() , since it returns the localized account name . The SID of Network Service is S-1-5-20 .

You can find the method signature and an invocation example here .
