Win32_SecurityDescriptorHelper class
The methods of the Win32_SecurityDescriptorHelper WMI class convert a security descriptor between the Win32_SecurityDescriptor, Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL), and binary byte array formats. Because many WMI methods for manipulating security descriptors require a binary format, use this method to convert the more easily manipulated Win32_SecurityDescriptor form to and from binary. For more information, see WMI Security Descriptor Objects.
