I need to find the location of the user object in AD based on the Logon Name

IE:
I have:
JDoe123 (the logon name)

I need:
LDAP://cn=JohnDoe,ou=users,ou=aaa,ou=bbb,ou=ccc,DC=xxx



thanks!

By the way - a clarification:

i dont know what ou the object is in, so i can not assume it lives in
ou=users,ou=aaa,ou=bbb,ou=ccc,DC=xxx

You can use the NameTranslate object for this. Details at this link:

#6 is a quick example to convert the "pre-Windows 2000 logon" name into the
Distinguished Name. #16 shows how to retrieve the NetBIOS name of the
domain, which is needed for #6 if you don't hard code the domain name.

As usual, you are a genius! This worked perfectly.

I want to thank you very much for your participation in this newsgroup, and

and you have saved me many, many hours spinning my wheels on scripting
challenges.
