What is a fully qualified user name?

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the complete domain name for a specific computer, or host, on the internet. The FQDN consists of two parts: the hostname and the domain name. For example, an FQDN for a hypothetical mail server might be mymail.somecollege.edu .

How do I find the FQDN of a user?

To find the FQDN On the Windows Taskbar, click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Domains and Trusts. In the left pane of the Active Directory Domains and Trusts dialog box, look under Active Directory Domains and Trusts. The FQDN for the computer or computers is listed.
