I have scripted GetUserInfo.bat to retrieve basic user data. The syntax is:

call getuserinfo UserName

where UserName must be quoted if it contains any space characters.

To verify that the UserName was found, use a statement like:

if not defined $line1 goto NotFound

After verifying that the UserName was found, you can access the basic user data by using the environment variables from the following table:

Environment     Variables	Description	Sample Data
$line1	User name	Jerry
$line2	Full Name	Jerold Schulman
$line3	Comment	Sample Comment
$line4	User's comment
$line5	Country Code	000 (System Default)
$line6	Account active	Yes
$line7	Account expires	Never
$line8	Password last set	07/12/2002 20:27
$line9	Password expires	07/12/2002 20:27
$line10	Password changeable	07/12/2002 20:27
$line11	Password required	Yes
$line12	User may change password	Yes
$line13	Workstations allowed	All
$line14	Logon script	logon.bat
$line15	User profile	profile path
$line16	Home directory	home folder path
$line17	Last logon	07/15/2002 07:05

GetUserInfo.bat contains:

@echo off
if \{%1\}
\{\} goto syntax
set /a cnt=0
::NOTE: If you don't have a domain, change the following statemnt to: for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('net user %1') do set line=%%i&call :parse
for /f "Skip=1 Tokens=*" %%i in ('net user %1 /domain') do set line=%%i&call :parse
if %cnt% EQU 0 set $line1=
set cnt=
set line=
goto :EOF
:syntax
endlocal
@echo syntax: Call GetUserInfo "UserName"
goto :EOF
:parse
set /a cnt=%cnt% + 1
if /i "%line%"
"The command completed successfully." goto :EOF
if %cnt% GTR 17 goto :EOF
set $line%cnt%=%line:~29,256%

Sample Usage

To implement a user locator for a single domain controller domain, create a Locator$ share on your domain controller granting Domain Users Read and Write permissions, and Creator Owner delete permission. Add the following code to your logon script:

call getuserinfo "%username%"
if defined $line1 del /q "%LOGONSERVER%\Locator$\%userName%.*"&"@echo %$line2% >"%LOGONSERVER%\Locator$\%userName%.%ComputerName%"

To locate a user, type:

dir "%LOGONSERVER%\Locator$\UserName.*"
