The .profile attribute is available via the winnt provider, so if you're
struggling to overcome the username (sAMAccountname) to CN (or DN), then
you could just bind, thus:-
set objUser=getobject("WinNT://HJT/"&<username>)
wscript.echo objUser.profile
If you want to actually get the %USERNAME% environment variable, you're
gonna have to instantiate a wscript.shell object then access the
environment (sub) object.
Or you could just use the wscript.network object, and get the current
domain (NT stylee) and currently logged on user (again, simply the
username / sAMAccount name, NT stylee).
If you want to actually use the LDAP provider, you're going to have to
confront the slightly uncomfortable, yet implacable reality that the
sAMAccountname isn't that relevant to the naming of objects in LDAP
parlance. So you'll either need to search for it, or do something
"trick" like nametranslate.
