Function to get a DN of a user object using samAccountName

DESCRIPTION

This function can be used to get a DN of a user via the samAccountName so that a manager field can be set in Active Directory in Quick Connect or Active Roles Synchronization Service Workflow steps.

NOTES

Replace the "EDMS://w2003svrI2/DC=w2003I,DC=ver" with your own path.


Note This code may use functions from the Active Roles Script Policy Best Practices. Please, follow the link to obtain instructions and code for those functions.
