    Get Display Name (64-bit version)

    Reply Contact

    I'm using Get Display Name and it seems that it might be choking on a comma in the display name of the user.  The display names in AD for this specific company are Last, First and, when using the action, it only displays the Last name.

    Is this a known issue, or am I looking at the wrong field in AD?  Maybe it's showing me the last name instead of the display name?

    Help!

    I've verified this is a problem on the 32-bit version also.  If there is a comma in the display name in AD, W.E. will stop at the comma.

    Get Display Name appears to be sensitive to how the Person or Group field is displayed (Show Field).  If "Name with Presence" is used, then we get an error:  "Could not find AD object with samAccountname or cn property value of Russell Wright."  If Show Field is changed to account, then a proper lookup occurs.  Why is this sensitive to the way the person or group is displayed?
