Does anyone know how to do that? The only constraint: no use of

Thank you for your reply Ken, however, none of these appear to get me where
I need. For instance, my DN is this:
CN=Derek M. Martin,OU=suppo rt,OU=users,OU= level,DC=dc,DC= domain,DC=com
When I lock the computer, it says: Only network\usernam e (Derek M. Martin)
.... bla bla bla
What I need is Derek M Martin to come out.
Can you assist? Thanks again for the reply!

Hi Steve, this is the Distinguished Name, DN. What I ended up doing was
instead of looking for cn, I am looking at LDAP for a sAMAccountName, which
allowed me to do a search on the username instead of the DN.
So, I appear to be in good shape :-)
Thanks a bunch!
