Q: How can I use a logon username to determine a user's distinguished name (DN)?
A: The NameTranslate object can translate a username into a DN that you can use to reference an Active Directory (AD) account. Use the following steps:

Create an instance of the NameTranslate object.
Use the Init method to initialize the Name-Translate object.
Pass the user s name to the NameTranslate object s Set method.
Call the NameTranslate object's Get method to retrieve the user's DN.
