Assigning UserName to a variable

[Kevin Hyland]

Hi

I’m doing a simple batch file to check GPResults for a policy being applied to the computer account. It just checks the results and if it finds the policy it updates a local file and if it doesn’t it updates another file.

@echo off

gpresult /s %1 /z /user domain.account /SCOPE Computer|find “Policy I’m Looking For” >NUL

IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 echo %1 %ERRORLEVEL% >> c:tempBtGApplied.txt

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 echo %1 %ERRORLEVEL% >> c:tempBtGMissing.txt

So this is saved as BTG.bat and I call it as a local process using BTG.bat $computer and it works up to a point due to the way GPResults works.

Even though I’m using /SCOPE /COMPUTER I have to use a domain.user account. I’m using an account that I know is on about 95% of the laptops but this obviously leads to face positives because the RSOP failure is flagged as not finding the policy.

So..here’s the question!

When I import the Assets, I also imported the username that’s allocated to the laptop. Can I user this detail and if so how can I call it up for the batch file in the same way that host is assigned $computer. So if the user is stored as $user I can call the batch using BTG.bat $computer $user and the script is gpresult /s %1 /z /user %2 /SCOPE Computer|find “Policy I’m Looking For” >NUL

Sorry for the waffle but hope that makes sense.

Thanks

Unfortunately there is not currently a way to have BP pass the $user to your script the way that it can with $computer. We’ll consider this for a future build.
