All,
Hello. I am needing to query AD for the Computer Name tied to a particular sAMAccountName, but cannot figure out how to do it. I know this has to be simple, but it escapes me.

I use the following function to pull other info by the sAMAccountName, but the "ComputerName" returns null. I've also tried "logonWorkstation", but returns null as well. Can anyone please help?

Code:
Function GetInfoByRACF(ByVal racf As String, ByVal req As String) As String
    Dim user
    On Error Resume Next
    
    Set rs = CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
    rs.ActiveConnection = "provider = adsdsoobject"
    rs.Open "<LDAP://dc=xxxxxx,dc=com>;(samaccountname=" & racf & ");adspath;subtree"
    If Not rs.EOF Then
        Set user = GetObject(rs(0))
        Select Case LCase(req)
            Case "name"
                GetInfoByRACF = user.get("displayname")
            Case "phone"
                GetInfoByRACF = user.get("telephonenumber")
            Case "name2"
                GetInfoByRACF = user.get("givenname")
            Case "mgr"
                GetInfoByRACF = user.get("extensionattribute8")
            Case "cost_center"
                GetInfoByRACF = user.get("departmentnumber")
            Case "email"
                GetInfoByRACF = user.get("msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress")
            Case "comp"
                GetInfoByRACF = user.get("ComputerName")
            Case Else
                GetInfoByRACF = ""
        End Select
    End If
    Set rs = Nothing
End Function
