<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a list of usernames (300 usernames), but wish to have the display names. I do not want to go through AD clicking on each account to copy the display name as this will take forever for the 300 accounts I have. <br />
<br />
So I need a way to query AD and supply the usernames so it can retrieve the display names.<br />
Thank you

How do I extract Display Names from AD if I know  the username

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
