set environment variables in login script

[alexs0628]

I'm converting from a Novell 3.2 server to a Windows 2000 server. An applications needs an environment setting based on the user's login name. I can't get the login script in Windows 2000 server to work. The syntax in Novell is this:

if login_name="alexs" set console="101"
if login_name="johns" set console="102"

as so on. How do I set up windows 2000 to perform this login function?

windows provides the username as a variable...

%username%

I tried -
set username="%username

if username="alexs" set console="101"


but that didn't work either.

percent sign both before and after and you don't have to set it. It is already set.

if %username%='john doe'
...

I changed to %username%="alexs" set console=101

Still cannot run the app. The application is a DOS based program. If I go to the properties of the shortcut and enter set console=101 on the command line in the Program tab line, I can run the program. Otherwise, the program can not find the environment variable. I guess I will have to manually set the console at every user's desktop shortcut.
