I have a batch file script, that needs to see if a person belongs to a
certain group. So I'm trying to compare the %USERNAME% (logged on user) to
the members of the group, to see if I can get either a "doesn't match" or a
"does match".

Here's my query

dsget group "CN=Dudes,OU=OurOU,OU=ABC
Network,DC=abcdef,DC=ca" -expand -members | dsget user -samid -c | find
"%USERNAME%"

So, if you pass it the %username%, and there's a match, it returns the
username.
So, this gives me a name, but I can't match it the %USERNAME%... I can
only get it to return the value. I can't get past this step.

Is there another way to compare this, or, am I almost there?

It seems to work. If a name is echoed, the current user is a member. If
nothing is echoed, the current user is not a member of the group. What do
you want to accomplish?
