get email address from network user name

[Paco]

Deal All,

I really hope that someone can help on it

 

I would like, from a user name to get the corresponding e-mail address

 

the idea is to provide to my VI:

• domain name
• user name
• eventually the password if really necessary

and get as result the e-mail address.

In attachment you can see what I already try by using the .NET System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement

but unfortunately as result I get an empty string

 

If you have one alternative solution to query the Active Directory please let me know

 

 

thank you in advance,

best regards,

Paco

Final solution was to do a dll with the below VB code and call it by labview.

original code I found on neophob.com

 Dim adoLDAPCon, _
 adoLDAPRS, _
 strLDAP
 
 Public Function GetEmail(strAccountName As String, strDomainName As String) As String
 Set adoLDAPCon = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
 adoLDAPCon.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
 adoLDAPCon.Open "ADSI"
 strLDAP = "'LDAP://" & strDomainName & "'"
 Set adoLDAPRS = adoLDAPCon.Execute("select mail from " & strLDAP & " WHERE objectClass = 'user'" & " And samAccountName = '" & strAccountName & "'")
 With adoLDAPRS
 If Not .EOF Then
 GetEmail = .Fields("mail")
 Else
 GetEmail = ""
 End If
 End With
 adoLDAPRS.Close
 Set adoLDAPRS = Nothing
 Set adoLDAPCon = Nothing
 End Function

In case you want it, here's that VB code translated into LabVIEW (2012) so you don't need a separate DLL:

 

EmailFromUserName.vi

Hi Ned!

 

Thank you very much, I have tested your VI and it's working perfectly :D

 

I was not able to translate it in LabView code by myself  thank you again
