The "Name" property method returns the Relative Distinguished Name (RDN),
which for user objects is the Common Name (the value of the cn attribute).
If you want the "pre-Windows 2000 logon name", this is the value of the
sAMAccountName attribute. If you are using ADO, there should be no need to
bind to the user objects. Just retrieve sAMAccountName.

For tips on using ADO with VBScript (or VB) to search AD see this link:

Using the variables names in the link, you want:

strAttributes = "sAMAccountName"
strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))"
