Get-ADObject giving errors

i have little bit of knowledge in using powershell have long way go. i trying use get-adobject command having problems.

using command(also possible parameters can think off):

get-adobject -identity $user -server $domain -credential $mycred

i error saying: get-adobject : cannot find object identity: 'user' under: 'domain'

now if use: get-aduser -identity $user -server $domain -credential $mycred

it goes through fine no problems , bring result back.

any suggestions???

what's in $user?

edit: i'll assume it's samaccountname, can't use identity parameter of get-adobject. need dn or guid:
