I would like to set an environment variable on each user's machine when they log in.  The environment variable should be set to be equal to the user's "Telephone number:" field that exists in their user account in Active Directory (AD).  I will be implementing the code using an AD Group Policy.  Is it possible to do this easily using a batch file of some sort, or will I need to use VBScript or something to perform an LDAP query (someone mentioned that the latter might be needed)?  In Netware it was as easy as saying SET TIA = "%TELEPHONE_NUMBER" in the user's login script.  Please include an example if you think you have the answer.


Login script question

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
