The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't retrieve Full User Name from Active Directory

Asked by Lee_IT in Programming for ASP.NET

Tags: 0x80070035

For the past few days I've been trying to use Asp.net to get the full user name of a user logged onto an intranet website.  I've disabled anonomous access and enabled integrated windows authentication.  I'm able to get the logon name with Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"], and have added <identity impersonate="true" /> to web.config.  After trying many different examples I finally got the following code to return the Full User name in Visual Studios debug mode, but when I try to use the same code from IIS the GetFullName function returns "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070035):"  Does anyone have any idea how to get this running?


private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
            {
                  
                  Label1.Text = GetFullName(Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"].ToString());

            }

            private string GetFullName(string strLogin)
            {
                  string str = "";
                  // Parse the string to check if domain name is present.
                  int idx = strLogin.IndexOf('\\');
                  if (idx == -1)
                  {
                        idx = strLogin.IndexOf('@');
                  }

                  string strDomain;
                  string strName;

                  if (idx != -1)
                  {
                        strDomain = strLogin.Substring(0, idx);
                        strName = strLogin.Substring(idx+1);
                  }
                  else
                  {
                        strDomain = Environment.MachineName;
                        strName = strLogin;
                  }

                  DirectoryEntry obDirEntry = null;
                  try
                  {
                        obDirEntry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + strDomain + "/" + strName);
                        System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection  coll = obDirEntry.Properties;
                        object obVal = coll["FullName"].Value;
                        str = obVal.ToString();
                                                                return str;
                  }
                  catch (Exception ex)
                  {
                        str = "";
                        return "Error: "+ex;
                  }
                  
            }
