To use only SPUser objects isn’t always sufficient. To get other properties we have to retrieve user profiles. Giles Hamson gives an example how to get and how to update user profile properties with powershell. Here is an example how to get all work phones: $url = "http://intranet/" $site = Get-SPSite $url $context = Get-SPServiceContext $site $profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($context) $profiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator() while ($profiles.MoveNext()) { $userProfile = $profiles.Current $name = $userProfile.

The distinguished name can be found in a property which can be retrieved with brackets: up[PropertyConstants.DistinguishedName] public static string GetDistinguishedName(string login) { var dn = ""; UserProfile up; using (var site = new SPSite("http://dev")) { var serviceContext = SPServiceContext.
