====== How to get the AD LDAP DN name from an user ======


Some times we need to have the full distinguished LDAP name for an Active directory user.

There are at least two ways to accomplish this goal:

1st) Running the command: dsquery user -name ADUSERNAME 

where ADUSERNAME is the name of the user on the AD

2nd) Running the command: ldifde -f users.txt 

where all LDAP data from AD is dumped into the file named users.txt
