[RESOLVED] Looking up User by Full Name (in AD)

This is probably a simple question.. but I can't find how to look up a user in AD by their full name and return their ID. I can only find the reverse, such as:

Code:

---

Dim oUser As Object
   
Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://domain/UserName")

MsgBox oUser.Fullname

---

What if I essentially wanted to do

Code:

---

Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://domain/Full Name")

---

?

Obviously that doesn't work, but can anyone tell me the format that will work? Thanks :wave:

whats AD???

AD: Active Directory

See if this helps...

look at the last post by Nitrous270

Thanks Koolsid, that worked! :D
