It is possible... you only have to do it another way...
query AD for the object that matches a certain sAMAccountName
-------------------------------------------------------------------
sDomainDNSW2Kx = "ADCORP.LAN"
ssAMAccountName = "JORGE"
Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set oCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
oConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
oConnection.Open "ADs Provider"
Set oCommand.ActiveConnection = oConnection
sQuery = "SELECT DistinguishedName FROM 'LDAP://" & sDomainDNSW2Kx & "' WHERE
sAMAccountName = '" & ssAMAccountName & "'"
oCommand.CommandText = sQuery
Set oResults = oCommand.Execute
sObjDN = oResults.Fields("DistinguishedName")
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this even possible and if so can someone provide a code sample, I would think it would look something like this for Test in the Microsoft domain: LDAP://sAMAccountName=Test, OU=Users,DC=Microsoft,DC=COM or LDAP://sAMAccountName=Test,CN=Users,DC=Microsoft,DC=COM Then again, maybe this is not even possible. If not should I use ADO instead even though I am returning 1 record with each query, seems inefficient way to me when I can just use an ADSI pointer.
