Hi folks,

I would like to pull-out just first name + surname from Active Directory,
but I can't find list of properties for object User.

Can anyone tell me just names for first name & surname properties of User
object?

Currently I'm using the following code for getting out DisplayName:
--
Set oObj = GetObject("WinNT://Machine_Name/User_Name,user")
--
where 'Machine_Name' is name of my W2K DC.

Any hints about approach?


TIA

Ivica

FirstName
LastName
FullName

IADsUser

Note that there is no guarantee which of these are used and will have a value. For example, on our domain here at work, only FullName has a value in "last_name, first_name middle_initial' format and the other 2 are not used.
