    Implementatation Notes
 
    Managing Disposable Objects
        The types PrincipalContext, Principal, and DirectoryEntry are used througout the code and
        all are disposable. However, in many cases, disposing the object immediately causes
        subsequent operations to fail or duplicate disposes calls to occur.
 
        To simplify management of these disposables, each public entry point defines a $disposables
        ArrayList variable and passes it to secondary functions that may need to create disposable
        objects. The public entry point is then required to dispose the contents of the list in a
        finally block.
 
    Managing PrincipalContext Instances
        To use the AccountManagement APIs to connect to the local machine or a domain, a
        PrincipalContext is needed.
 
        For the local groups and users, a PrincipalContext reflecting the current user can be
        created.
 
        For the default domain, the domain where the machine is joined, explicit credentials are
        needed since the default user context is SYSTEM which has no rights to the domain.
 
        Additional PrincipalContext instances may be needed when the machine is in a domain that is
        part of a multi-domain forest. For example, Microsoft uses a multi-domain forest that
        includes domains such as ntdev, redmond, wingroup and a group may have members that
        span multiple domains. Unless the enterprise implements the Global Catalog,
        something that Microsoft does not do, a unique PrincipalContext is needed to resolve
        accounts in each of the domains.
 
        To manage the use of PrincipalContext across domains, public entry points define a
        $principalContextCache hashtable and pass it to support functions that need to resolve a group
        or group member. Consumers of a PrincipalContext call Get-PrincipalContext with a scope
        (domain name or machine name). Get-PrincipalContext returns an existing hashtable entry or
        creates a new entry. Note that a PrincipalContext to a target domain requires connecting
        to the domain. The hashtable avoids subsequent connection calls. Also note that
        Get-PrincipalContext takes a Credential parameter for the case where a new PrincipalContext
        is needed. The implicit assumption is that the credential provided for the primary domain
        also has rights to resolve accounts in any of the other domains.
 
    Resolving Group Members
        The original implementation assumed that group members could be resolved using the machine
        PrincipalContext or the logged on user. In practice this is not reliable since the resource
        is typically run under the SYSTEM account and this account is not guaranteed to have rights
        to resolve domain accounts. Additionally, the APIs for enumerating group members do not
        provide a facility for passing additional credentials resulting in domain members failing
        to resolve.
 
        To address this, group members are enumerated by first converting the GroupPrincipal to a
        DirectoryEntry and enumerating its child members. The returned DirectoryEntry instances are
        then resolved to Principal objects using a PrincipalContext appropriate for the target
        domain.
 
    Handling Stale Group Members
        A group may have stale members if the machine was moved from one domain to a another
        foreign domain or when accounts are deleted (domain or local). At this point, members that
        were defined in the original domain or were deleted are now stale and cannot be resolved
        using Principal::FindByIdentity. The original implementation failed at this point
        preventing any operations against the group. The current implementation calls Write-Warning
        with the associated SID of the member that cannot be resolved then continues the operation.

    .SYNOPSIS
        Splits a member name into the scope and the account name.
 
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        The returned $scope is used to determine where to perform the resolution, the local machine
        or a target domain. The returned $accountName is the name of the account to resolve.
 
        The following details the formats that are handled as well as how the values are
        determined:
 
        Domain Qualified Names: (domainname\username)
 
        The value is split on the first '\' character with the left hand side returned as the scope
        and the right hand side returned as the account name.
 
        UPN: (username@domainname)
 
        The value is split on the first '@' character with the left hand side returned as the
        account name and the right hand side returned as the scope.
 
        Distinguished Name:
 
        The value at the first occurance of 'DC=' is used to extract the unqualified domain name.
        The incoming string is returned, as is, for the account name.
 
        Unqualified Account Names:
 
        The incoming string is returned as the account name and the local machine name is returned
        as the scope. Note that values that do not fall into the above categories are interpreted
        as unqualified account names.
 
    .PARAMETER MemberName
        The full name of the member to split.
 
    .NOTES
        ConvertTo-Principal will fail if a machine name is specified as domainname\machinename. It
        will succeed if the machine name is specified as the SAM name (domainname\machinename$) or
        as the unqualified machine name.
 
        Split-MemberName splits the scope and account name to avoid this problem.
