Query From GUID to Common Name

Hello All,

I am looking for a way to search Active Directory using a GUID. I am having a couple of issues where DNS will not create a resource record and the error notice returns the GUID of the object in question. I need to a way to search AD using the GUID...to retrieve the object name.

Thanks.

Am I correct in assuming that what you provided is some sort of developers code? I am not familiar with that or how I would use it. Thanks.
Yes,
You may have to repost this in the VBscripting forums.  That is what I would do.  More than likely they will point you to the same command, but how to use it in a query.

HTH
I posted it in WIN2K3 Server...hoping there might be an ADSI or LDP query that I can use against Active Directory.
