get network user full name

I learned that I can use system.environment.username to get user login name.
How can I get user full name/description from Active Directory or GAL?
Thanks a million.

I'd love too do this too as getting the local users full name looks like a no
goer as far as VB.Net is concerned.

Try the Microsoft tool "ADSI Scriptomatic"
http://www.netscum.dk/downloads/deta...DisplayLang=en
It shows how to get info from AD using ADSI. I have based a number of routines
on the basic code found there.
