I have a batch file that checks several of our servers for a user. From the command:
query user %userID% /server:ServerName  
I want to capture the output before it goes to the screen. Is there a way to redirect the output to a variable?
The basic gist of what I want to accomplish is this - we iterate through our servers:
query user %userID% /server:Server1  
query user %userID% /server:Server2  
query user %userID% /server:Server3  
query user %userID% /server:Server4  
Instead of outputting a message that the user could not be found on a specific server, I would like for it to only notify me if it finds the user on a server.
