!!! Overview
The [{$pagename}] for [Microsoft Active Directory]

The "naming" attribute within [Microsoft Active Directory] is the CN attribute.

If we have a user that shows in the [MMC] as "Jim Willeke", then his DN is:
{{{
dn: CN=Jim Willeke,CN=Users,DC=mad,DC=willeke,DC=com
}}}
And his CN is:
{{{
cn: Jim Willeke
}}}
The user would look like this in the [MMC]
