FWIW, not sure if you're using the IADsNameTranslate interface (
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/iads/nn-iads-iadsnametranslate).
..

Example pseudo-code:

NameTranslate::Init(ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC, null);

Then:

accountName = 'domain\username';
NameTranslate::Set(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, accountName);
caseCorrectedName = NameTranslate::Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4);  //
DOMAIN\UserName

Init depends on a available AD server (GC in this example), of course, but
seems pretty fast in my tests.
