In my current asp.net application i'm getting the user network short name
and displaying that on the screen. What I want is the users Full name and
display that instear. How can i go about doing that, would I use LDAP or
Active directory to do that?

I never had to do this and not sure how to do it or where to start looking.

Ex: this is what i get now.
jsmith - network logon ID

what I want is:
John Smith.

is this possible?
