Guid is a Scottish word and it means 'good'

Hi,

Today i will try to solve big ques between GUID and SID. Some people think that GUID and SID are same. But they are not...

Every object in active directory e.g. user account, computer account, printer etc are given SID, so that authentication can be performed. This leads to the formation of ACL ( Acess Control List).

GUID is 128 bit hexadecimal no. given to objects in AD. When new object is formed SID is same as GUID. But GUID are always unique.

When a user moves out of domain, then it's SID will change, but GUID will not.

I hope now it solves the issue..

In computing, "GUID" stands for "Globally Unique Identifier"

"GUI" can also stand for "Graphical User Interface"
