Question

Is there any API function that can resolve netbios name of a user or group directory object.

I need output in following formats:

1. NameFullyQualifiedDN – example: CN=John Smith,OU=Users,DC=Engineering,DC=Microsoft,DC=Com
2. NameDnsDomain – example: engineering.microsoft.com\JSmith
3. Any other format that gives DNS domain name.

NOTE : TranslateName function is failing while giving name as shown below: win2008domainnetbiosname\username.

Thanks

You can use IADsNameTranslate or DsCrackNames to achieve this.
