SMTP Lookup using AD Username

[Anesthaesia]

Hi All,

I need to be able to get a user's SMTP address from Active Directory using their login username (which I am able to get)

Is there any way to get this info from AD ?

Cheers,
D

I had to do this once but I was lucky that the guy that set up Exchange had already done all the LDAP field mapping so I just borrowed his "map."

Oh, and and there were some funky LDAP field names... like "sn" was Last Name ... an abbreviation for Sir Name.

Hi Sheco,

Any advise on how to do this ?

If you haven't used LDAP before then be warned it is kinda, um uh.... well it makes SQL look pretty.

There is supposedly a way to query the AD with SQL but I never quite figured it out. Also I didn't want to spend the extra time braining it out because the LDAP technique, although ugly, did work.
