Hi Team, What is the command to get the SAMAccount name for an user account? -- Regards, Mohan R Level2-Server support Engineer.

probably a tidier method (which I look forward to seeing), but from a cmd prompt you could: for /f "tokens=" %a in ('dsquery user -name smith') do @dsquery %a -attr sAMAccountName distinguishedName \| find /i /v "distinguishedName" and in a .cmd script: for /f "tokens=" %%a in ('dsquery user -name smith') do dsquery %%a -attr sAMAccountName distinguishedName \| find /i /v "distinguishedName" From: activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Mohan Ravindran Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 10:56 am To: activedir Subject: [ActiveDir] How to check the SAMAccount name for user account Hi Team, What is the command to get the SAMAccount name for an user account? -- Regards, Mohan R Level2-Server support Engineer.

This is a little better (-attr lets you pick ad hoc Active Directory attributes.. this time I've picked sAMAccountName and the canonical name): dsquery * -filter "(&(sn=smith)(objectCategory=Person)(ObjectClass=user))" -attr sAMAccountName cn From: activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of mike Mitchell Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 11:34 am To: activedir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] How to check the SAMAccount name for user account probably a tidier method (which I look forward to seeing), but from a cmd prompt you could: for /f "tokens=" %a in ('dsquery user -name smith') do @dsquery %a -attr sAMAccountName distinguishedName \| find /i /v "distinguishedName" and in a .cmd script: for /f "tokens=" %%a in ('dsquery user -name smith') do dsquery %%a -attr sAMAccountName distinguishedName \| find /i /v "distinguishedName" From: activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Mohan Ravindran Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 10:56 am To: activedir Subject: [ActiveDir] How to check the SAMAccount name for user account Hi Team, What is the command to get the SAMAccount name for an user account? -- Regards, Mohan R Level2-Server support Engineer.

With what input? As asked, I might assume the input is the interactively logged in user, in which case, you can simply use the Windows environment variable %username%, i.e. from a command prompt type 'set username' and get back the samAccountName.
