SDCheck uses the following syntax:

One Step sdcheck Server Object [/dumpsd] [/dumpall] [/debug] [[/domain: DomainName] /user: UserName /password: Password] [/?]

Parameters

Server
Specifies the name of the domain controller on which to perform the query. The name may be either the DNS name or the NetBIOS name of the domain controller.
Object
Specifies the name of the object on which you want to determine the access control list (ACL) entries. The name can be either the logon name (for example, MICROSOFT\someone), the fully distinguished name (for example, cn=Someone, ou=Sales,dc=microsoft,dc=com), or the user principal name (for example, someone@microsoft.com).
/dumpsd
Displays only the security descriptor for the selected object.
/dumpall
Displays the security descriptor for the selected object along with all security descriptors inherited from parent containers. This allows administrators to determine the inheritance of security descriptors from parent objects through the object hierarchy.
/debug

/domain: DomainName
Specifies the domain name of UserName in either DNS or NetBIOS format. Used to specify credentials other other than the current user's.
