You can't, but that's not needed, since, as I wrote earlier, such
situations happen on Unix as well, and so Posix programs don't expect
unique uid's.

What I meant was that you can correctly map a SID to a user or group
name, even if some users/groups are not from the local machine (e.g.,
because some of the files are remote files given in the
\\server\share\foo UNC format).
