Exception calling "Translate" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."

[FoegiUpdate]

I use Win11 23H2 German Edition with PS 5.1 and get this Error:
Exception calling "Translate" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."

The Issue is. the system can't resolve the specified user or group name to a security identifier (SID), likely due to a missing or language-specific local group.
I have added the following functions with the help of AI:

function Get-SafeNTAccountSid { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][alias('Account')] [string]$NTAccountName ) try { $nt = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount($NTAccountName) return $nt.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]) } catch { Write-Warning "Could not resolve '$NTAccountName': $_" return $null } }

function Get-SafeSidFromSidString { param ([Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$SidString) try { $sid = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($SidString) return $sid } catch { Write-Warning "Invalid SID '$SidString': $_" return $null } }

and replaced following code:
function local:Get-UserSid { [OutputType([string])] $userSid = ((New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount([Environment]::UserName)).Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]).value).ToLower() Write-Output $userSid }

with this code:
function local:Get-UserSid { [OutputType([string])] # safely translate current user $name = [Environment]::UserName $domain = $env:USERDOMAIN $account = "$domain\$name" $sidObj = Get-SafeNTAccountSid -NTAccountName $account if ($sidObj) { Write-Output $sidObj.Value.ToLower() } else { # fallback: vielleicht nur Username Write-Warning "Falling back to SID from username: $name" try { $fallback = (New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount($name)).Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]) Write-Output $fallback.Value.ToLower() } catch { Write-Warning "Fallback translation also failed: $_" Write-Output "" } } }

PS-SFTA works with these additions on my computer.
