#Purpose:	Convert a DN to a Canonical name, and back again.
#
#Example:	PS > ConvertFrom-Canonical 'get-admin.local/test/test1/Sizemore, Glenn E'
#		CN=Sizemore\, Glenn E,OU=test1,OU=test,DC=getadmin,DC=local
#	 	PS > ConvertFrom-DN 'CN=Sizemore\, Glenn E,OU=test1,OU=test,DC=getadmin,DC=local'
#		get-admin.local/test/test1/Sizemore, Glenn E
