Using user login name to find fullname in Active Directory

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to retrieve a users fullname from Active Directory using their login name or samAccountName?
Am using vb script.
Thanks in advance.

Set oNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
sDomain = oNetwork.UserDomain
sUser = oNetwork.UserName

If you're using NT, use

sADSPath= sDomain & "/" & sUser
Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sADSPath & ",user&quot
WScript.Echo oUser.FullName

If you're using Win2K, use

Set oRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE&quot
sDomain = oRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext&quot
Set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=" & sUser & ",CN=Users," & sDomain)
WScript.Echo oUser.DisplayName Jon Hawkins
