Hi. We are using Windows authentication and can easily get the Windows login
account name through Context.User.Identity.Name. But is there a way to
retrieve the First Name and Last Name properties of the login from Active
Directory?

Thanks

Yes you will have to query the Active Directory using LDAP
Do some search on how to query AD
