Currently, there are two different username standards in practice. One is first initial + last name, the other is the first 4 letters of the last name + first two initials of first name + 1. I would like to write a script that, given the user's full name, can pull out the current userid. I have scripts that work the opposite way (given userid, find full name), but I can't seem to modify them to do what I would like. Can anybody help me out or point me to a website that describes how to do this?

Using tip 7714 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com
FullName.bat (below) displays the userid on the console.
if you needed it in a variable, then
for /f "Tokens=*" %%u in ('Fullname "The Full Name"') do
set variable=%%u
)
I assumed that Full Name was displayName. If not, you can adjust.
@echo off
if {%1}=={} @echo Syntax FullName "Full Name"&goto :EOF
setlocal
set fn=%1
set fn=%fn:"=%
set qry=dsquery * domainroot -filter
"(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(displayName=%fn%))" -attr
sAMAccountName -limit 0
REM The above 3 lines are 1 line
for /f "Skip=1 Tokens=*" %%a in ('%qry%') do (
@echo %%a
)
endlocal
