Our solution to this problem is a handy command that can be executed on your server providing Active Directory.

In order to quickly find the DN, open a command prompt and enter the command “adsiedit.msc”.

After you execute this command navigate to the account in which you are seeking the distinguished name (This is typically your account).

Navigating ADSI Edit

Right-click on that account and select “properties”.

Then find the “Distinguished Name” category, double-click, and you will have the answer you seek.
