Hey guys i need some help i am a total noob to bat files i am getting this error "invalid verb switch" I dont understand why? All i am wanting to do is rename the current user with %newusername%
I have looked on line and everything seams to be the same any thoughts?
@echo off
for /F "tokens=4 delims=.:" %%G in (
'ping -4 %COMPUTERNAME%^|find "Reply from"'
) do set "IP=%%G"
set "ipadd=%IP:~-3%"
set mydate=%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%%date:~10,4%
set /p pathName=Employees Name:%=%
set /p store=Store prefix (ie: rfl, rac, rca, rdcjr):%=%
set /p location=location (ie: salesflrN1, partsNE2):%=%
echo.
echo.
echo ip address: %last3digits%
set newusername=%store%.%ipadd%-%pathName%
echo New User Name Will Be: %newusername%
echo.

pause
wmic useraccount where name='%username%' rename %newusername%
pause
This ended up fixing my error:
wmic useraccount where name='%USERNAME%' call rename name='%newusername%'
net.exe user "%newusername%" /fullname:"%newusername%"
Looks like I was missing the call and name= option.
