If you want a graphical tool to find the DN of an Active Directory object then the free Microsoft tool LDP.exe should do the trick. The tool is included with the Windows Server OS and can be accessed from your local computer if you have the Windows Server 2003 Admin Pack or the 2008 RSAT installed.

Note: The steps below are from the 2008 R2 RSAT version of LDP, the process is very similar for the 2003 version however some of the memu names etc at a bit different.

By default when a new user is created in Active Directory the object will be created under the top level User container (CN=User), similarly when a computer is created it will be created in the top level Computers container (CN=Computers).

If you would like to change this behaviour then this is how.

By design Windows 7 Home Basic does not allow the user to change the wallpaper if you right click on the desktop the "Personalize" option is missing.

However the option is simple hidden and not removed, the workaround is to open the start menu and type "Change desktop background" in the search box and press enter.
