The glossary defines User Principal Name as:
A user account name (sometimes referred to as the user logon name) and a domain name identifying the domain in which the user account is located. This is the standard usage for logging on to a Windows domain. The format is: [email protected] (as for an e-mail address).
Using dsquery, I have scripted GetDNbyUPN.bat to return the distinguished name (DN) of a user, by using their UPN, like [email protected], or "%UserName%@%USERDNSDOMAIN%".
The syntax for using GetDNbyUPN.bat is:
call GetDNbyUPN UPN DN
where DN is a call directed environment variable that will contain the DN of the UPN. If the UPN is NOT found, DN will be set to N.
GetDNbyUPN.bat contains:
@echo off if \{%2\}==\{\} @echo Syntax: GetDNbyUPN UPN DN&goto :EOF setlocal set dn=N for /f "Tokens=*" %%u in ('dsquery user -upn %1') do set dn=%%u endlocal&set %2=%dn%NOTE: See How do I retrieve the distinguished name of a user?
