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

[pinkclown]

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:

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

MsgBox oUser.Fullname

What if I essentially wanted to do

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

?

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