the nametranslate interface can convert names in form domain\ntname distinguished names (and other forms), domain netbios name of domain , ntname samaccountname (pre-windows 2000 name) of object. example, need include trailing "$" in computer object names.

also, set method of  nametranslate accepts form of name, domain\ntname, directly, don't see need bind object adsgetobject. need investigate old work adsgetobject see if can determine make raise error, assuming valid values used.

edit: perhaps when binding object adsgetobject specify class of object. example, bind "winnt://mydomain/jsmith,user". also, "winnt" case sensitive.
