I think you want IADsNameTranslate Brian assuming you are using ADSI. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/iadsnametranslate.asp
Richard has a good writeup on it at http://www.rlmueller.net/NameTranslateFAQ.htm Basically you convert from ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 to ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 and then chop off the domain piece. If you are in batch, take a look at my UserName tool on www.joeware.net which will return whatever format you want for the current user. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 4:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Determine user's Netbios/DNS Domain Name Is there an attribute that I can look at if I'm bound to a username to find out the user's domain name? For example, if I'm bound to myself: CN=$Brian Desmond,OU=Tech Dept,OU=Accounts,DC=payton,DC=cps,DC=k12,DC=il,DC=us How can I programatically determine one of the two: my netbios domain name is WPCP or my DNS name is payton.cps.k12.il.us?
