if have sid values in text file, can read them get-content cmdlet in powershell. example, script reads sid's file , outputs corresponding names. can redirect output text file, or use out-file cmdlet (with -append parameter) to output $sam file:

 

$sids = get-content -path "c:\rlm\powershell\members.txt"

foreach ($sid in $sids)
{
    $sam = (new-object system.security.principal.securityidentifier($sid)).translate([system.security.principal.ntaccount])
    $sam
}

-----

 

to write names directly file (instead of output console , redirectly file), use:

$sam | out-file .\names.txt -append
