Hi All,

I was just wondering if there is a 'best practice' to get the friendly name
of a Posting/Channel Last Modified By instead of WinNT://DOMAIN/Username;

Is there a quick simple way to get the Firstname/Lastname from AD? or is the
best way just to trim off the WinNT://DOMAIN/ leaving Username?

Cheers

Hi Angus,

MCMS does not store this information but it is possible by querying AD:
See here here for a sample:

Hi Stefan,

I know this is a bit of a .NET question but...

In your experience has this caused a performance drop running this? (i will
cache it with .NET caching but am wondering about the first request).

Regards

Hi Angus,

it depends on how often and where you are using this.
If there is a delay in retrieving this on a template the single posting
might be delays - but in the sites where I have used it I did not receive
such problems.

You could also enable output caching for this term so that this don't have
to retrieved more than one for the same posting.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Stefan,

I am going to be using it on the footer of all pages (for an intranet).

So my plan is to cache it once per author using the username as the cache
key (and a constant)

Regards
