Find Base-DN for Windows AD User

To find out the Bind-DN for your Windows Active Directory User just execute the following from any logged-in Windows Box:

    dsquery user dc=example,dc=com -name user1*

Where example.com is your domain and user1 is your username. Useful if you need a correct Bind DN to connect to the AD LDAP interface or similar.
