Retrieve Full DN (AdsPath) given Username

Cameron Frasnelly

Does anyone know how to get the full Distinguished Name from the Useraname
using vb.net??? All the examples show how to manipulate user objects but
they have the LDAP path hardcoded??? I need to know how to fetch the path
given the user name... thanks!!!

There isn't an object stored with the username, or the even just the path,
so I guess you'll have to search the directory for the username in order to
get the fully qualified name.
