GetSiteExtendedNames
Description
Gets site-extended names, given a display name and record type, and returns them in an array.
This method supports MultiSite operations and may be useful in detected or resolving naming conflicts. A site-extended name contains a site-specific extension that makes it unique among all names in the MultiSite environment. An extended name can be used in APIs wherever unextended names are used. If the specified name is already an extended name, no error will occur and extended names will still be returned. If the specified name is not correct, the returned array will be empty.
To see whether a name
is extended or unextended, use the IsSiteExtendedName method.
