luid.HighPart = 0;
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
int luidNameLen = 0;
IntPtr ptrLuid = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(luid));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(luidAttr.Luid, ptrLuid, true);
LookupPrivilegeName(null, ptrLuid, null, ref luidNameLen); // call once to get the name len
sb.EnsureCapacity(luidNameLen + 1);
if (LookupPrivilegeName(null, ptrLuid, sb, ref luidNameLen)) // call again to get the name
{
   Trace.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} ({1})", luid.LowPart, sb.ToString()));
}
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(ptrLuid);
