I have a script that queries against my AD for all user objects and returns some specified attributes (displayName and extensionAttribute1) for all users. What I want to do now is create a script that when run will go out to AD and return these attributes for just the individual user that has run the script. My assumption is that I need to a piece that will return the LDAP query for the logged in user (or user whom has run the script) and then use this to find the user account attributes; however I cannot figure out how to find the LDAP query for the user. Does anyone have a sample vbscript that shows how to find the LDAP query for a specific user account?

Thanks

Dim adSysInfo : Set adSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Dim objUser : Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & adSysInfo.UserName)
WScript.Echo objUser.displayName

Is there any way you can trick the script into thinking another user is logged on?? I have a script that all our users use to generate an email signature, it retrieves information from AD on the user logged on such as the name, job title, phone number and so on. This is all good and well but most of the directors have PA's and they have permission to send emails on behalf of the director it would be nice to allow them to generate a the script automatically by just picking the directors name from a drop down menu or entering there name in a box.

Instead of tricking it into thinking another user is logged on, you might want to get the DN for a user and use that instead of the logged on user.

I use this http://www.visualbasicscript.com/fb.aspx?m=48443 to do my LDAP queries. I have optimized that code a bit for performance on my own systems, but it is portable enough to use anywhere and work as it is.
It should give you a better idea of how to structure the queries to get what you want.
