As of Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 the SID specification is still in the first revision. ‘1’ – The second component of a SID is the revision number of the SID specification, if the SID specification was to change it would provide backwards compatibility. This is prefixed to all SIDs and is there to inform Windows that what follows is a SID.

The notation that you will see takes a certain syntax, below are the different parts of a SID in this notation. So lets take a look at the typical format in which you will see SIDs in Windows. It is not often that you will see any form of SID in Windows, the most common scenario is when you grant someone permission to a resource, then their user account is deleted, it will then show up as a SID in the ACL. However when you see a SID in Windows it will be displayed using a more readable syntax. Behind the scene SIDs are stored the same way all other data object are, in binary. SIDs are added to ACLs(Access Control Lists) every time you grant a user or group permission to a file or folder. SIDs are just variable length strings of alphanumeric characters that represent machines, users and groups. The Windows Operating systems use SIDs to represent all security principals.
