How do I search Active Directory for displayName

[Radsam]

I was unable to find anything in the forums regarding my issue.

I need to search AD to see if the "displayName" object exists. I already have the code to find if the "sAMAccountName" exists.

Ultimately, I need to have a script that allows me to search with EITHER "displayName" or "sAMAccountName" and display the object details.

Below is what I have for just the "sAMAccountName":

Local $sUserName = "Lastname, Firstname ABC:DE";our display names are formatted as shown.
Local $ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC = 3
Local $ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3
Local $ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1
Local $sMemberOf = ""

Local $objRootDSE = ObjGet ("LDAP://RootDSE")
If @error Or $sUserName = "" Then
    MsgBox(0, 'Error', 'Username does not exist or not able to communicate with ' & @LogonDomain)
    Exit
Else
    $objTrans = ObjCreate ("NameTranslate")
    $objTrans.Init ($ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC, "")
;~      $objTrans.Set ($ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779, @LogonDomain)
    $objTrans.Set ($ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, @LogonDomain & "\" & $sUserName)
    $strUserDN = $objTrans.Get ($ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779)
    $UserObj = ObjGet ("LDAP://" & $strUserDN)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, 'Error', 'Username does not exist or not able to communicate with ' & @LogonDomain)
        Exit
    EndIf
EndIf


;Output object details...
ConsoleWrite($UserObj.displayName)
ConsoleWrite($UserObj.scriptPath)
ConsoleWrite($UserObj.HomeDirectory)

Try using the _ADDNToDisplayName() for the display name in AD. If you don't have the adfunctions.au3 then you can get it here it has many AD functions you can use.

Hope this helps.

Edit:

Or you can probably use _ADOUObjectNames()

Can someone please provide example?

I need to be able to search AD with either a "displayName" or "sAMAccountName".

The idea is a user will type into an input field either of the above names and click a search button. The rest of my script finds either the "displayName" or "sAMAccountName" in AD and returns various attributes of the object.

I know how to search AD with the "sAMAccountName", but can someone give me an example of how to do so with the "displayName".
