For consistency we have a central standard for such as email footers. I have written a script to generate email footers on login in HTML + RTF + TXT with logos etc using the core information stored in AD. Used to have to Word Process every type for every user. The key value is the logon name = %username%
on which all other factors are retrieved. The UDF is good but slow when I know what it is I want to retrieve. However I do not know the HOW other than shown above using the UDF. I want to be able to retrieve the description associated with a user name. For the likes of Personal Assistants, their group membership will require that they not only have their own email footers but that of their bosses and hence the need for LDAP rather than just @description which limits it to only the 'present' username.
If anyone can help me speed up and narrow down the extracted info this will allow me to loose the @description currently in place and get over the PA issue.
