Get attribute from Active Directory with Dax

Hi!

 

With DAX it is possible to get User Principle Name (and User Name), but is it possible to get other attributes från Active Directory with DAX?

This organisation does not have mail as User Principle name, but it is stored in an attribute. It would be great to be able to retrieve peoples mail-adress without having the Active Directory Datebase as a source for the report

 

Regards

Niklas
