.bat - retreive first name from AD?

Comment:

I am working on a login script for our users. Currently I have one line that copies a file to the user's documents, by using c:\documents and settings\%username%\blah\blah\blah Some of our user's My Docs folders are not named by their username, some are named by just their first name. For example: documents and settings\j.smith\ for some users would be: documents and settings\john This is due to the company changing its user naming scheme some time ago. Is there a way to get a variable that simply pulls the first name from active directory? ex: documents and settings\%fname%\etc.etc
