Solution

LookupAccountSid is your friend - it takes a SID and turns it into a user name. Warning, it can take some time to run.

If you have a text string containing the SID (as in your example above), you can use the ConvertStringSidToSid function to convert the string into a binary blob which can then be read by LookupAccountSid.
