Hello,

I'm a beginner when it comes to AutoIT scripting. I've only created simple scripts but I need some help displaying the current user's Last name, First name.

I tried searching this forum but everything I found was for @username or searching through AD. Can someone help me or guide me to the right place?

Thanks,

Robert

The current user on a PC in many cases will not be {firstname}{lastname}. It may be a string of characters. In your case you need to get the user name then reformat it with stringsplit then formatting the two arrays you create into the format you need. Something like this:
 
Say the user name is "John Smith" I'm assuming there is a space between the first and last name.
 

$S = StringSplit(@UserName, " ")
msgbox(0, "last name then comma then first name", $s[2] & "," & $S[1])

Something like this?

#include <AD.au3>
_AD_Open()
If @error Then Exit MsgBox(16, "Active Directory", "Function _AD_Open encountered a problem. @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
Global $aProperties = _AD_GetObjectProperties(@UserName, "givenname, sn")
MsgBox(0, "Result", "Firstname: " & $aProperties[1][1] & @CRLF & "Lastname: " & $aProperties[2][1])
_AD_Close()

For the DisplayName, I use this :

MsgBox(0, "Display name",  _GetUserFullName() )

Func _GetUserFullName($sUsername = @UserName)
    Local $objUser = ObjGet("WinNT://" & EnvGet("USERDOMAIN") & "/" & $sUsername & ",user" )
    If IsObj($objUser) Then Return $objUser.FullName
    Return SetError(1, 0, "")
EndFunc
