Hi!

I am working hard to get a login script up and running with the "real
username".
The %username% ist the login name and i need the active directory "display
name".

with the following:
dsquery user domainroot -samid %username%|dsget user -display -q -l

i got this result:
display: Thomas Karer
dsget war erfolgreich

i need only the text "Thomas Karer" for my login script.

Does anybody know how to "filter" the output for the "Thomas Karer" an put
this in an variable (%displayname%)

many many thanks.

@for /f "tokens=3,4" %a in ('"net user %username% /domain | find /i "Full
name""') do echo %a %b

Or you can set a variable replace the echo with set FullName=%a %b
 
Sorry, I should read the question better.
for /f "delims=: tokens=2" %a in ('"dsquery user domainroot -samid
%username%|dsget user -display -q -l | find /i "display""') do echo %a %b

should do it.

Hi Tom,

there is a tiny little script language especially for login
scripts. http://www.kixtart.com

Using cmd batch for enhanced login scripting is very time
consuming and expensive. Kix scripting is so much faster.

thank you very much for this but this seems not to work.
i got the following output:
 
You know I'm really not with it, you said you were using it in a batch file,
and I didn't account for that.
If you use a For /F in a batch, you have to double the % in front of the
temporary variable.
It should look like this...

for /f "delims=: tokens=2" %%a in ('"dsquery user domainroot -samid
%username% | dsget user -display -q -l | find /i "display""') do set
FullName=%%a
SET fullName=%fullName:~1%
echo %FullName%

(The second line takes off the leading space)
(Also, I dropped the %b, it was extra)
 
I'm not sure how it is displaying for you, but my reader keeps breaking the
lines in half. Just to be sure I'm seperating each line with a space...


for /f "delims=: tokens=2" %%a in ('"dsquery user domainroot -samid
%username% | dsget user -display -q -l | find /i "display""') do set
FullName=%%a

SET fullName=%fullName:~1%

echo %FullName%
