See tip 4928 » SETENV.EXE is a freeware replacement for SETX.EXE, and it has more functionality.

Place it in the logon share on each DC, so you script can addresses it as %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\SETENV.EXE
Asssume you were trying to set user environment variable ZZZ to This is %username%
set ZZZ=This is %username%
%LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\SETENV.EXE -u ZZZ "%ZZZ%"
