Question : How to read city from Active Directory and use as parameter to startup exe

Hi guys,

I need some scripting help an I was hoping to find help on this great site. Not sure if this is can be done with a regular batch file, or if a VBS script is needed. Basicly this is what I want to accomplish:

1. User starts script.
2. Script looks at active directory to find the City value of the logged in user.
3. Script creates a user variable named CITY with this value
4. Script starts another tool, application.exe CITY.
5. Script closes as soon as the "application.exe city" has started.
