Bogus SIDs in User Rights Assignment list JeffB 10-05-2007

Just an observation--no question in here.

On one of my servers, if I look at User Rights Assignment, I see groups of
bogus SIDS in the form

S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-10xx

Here's my guess at what happened:

- SQL Server 2005 got installed; the installer created lots of lovely
SQLServer2005XXX$ComputerName accounts and gave them
necessary user rights.

- SQL Server 2005 was uninstalled, and the uninstaller got rid of
the accounts but not the user rights assignments.

I think my guess is a safe bet, because immediately following the
bad SIDs are SQLServer2005XXX$ComputerName accounts names.

Our DBA says this is likely what happened. More specifically, he had
accidentally installed the 32-bit version of SQL Server 2005 and then
replaced it with the 64-bit version.
