Distinguished Name

How can you determine the accurate distinguished name of and AD object? I'm using a script to modify an group but it's saying there is no such object on the server...code:80072030

Option Explicit
Dim refWMI
Dim colEveryone
Dim refUser
set refWMI = GetObject("winMgmts:root\directory\LDAP")
set colEveryone = refWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM DS_User")
For Each refUser in colEveryone
	WScript.Echo refUser.DS_distinguishedName
Next
Set colEveryone = Nothing
Set refWMI = Nothing

change the DS_User type to DS_Computer or whatever type you need...
