Exporting info from a text file using batch

Question

I am trying to get the path for the OU my laptop is currently in. Here is what I have

gpresult /r /scope computer >> c:\temp\ou.txt

FIND "CN=" "C:\Temp\ou.txt" > C:\Temp\ou1.txt

The output is CN=My-PC,OU=Computers,OU=Information Technology,OU=XXXXXXX,OU=Corporate,DC=XXXXXXXX,DC=com

What I need to do is get the CN=MY-PC and extract the CN= The names will be different every time, so I need from the first , back to the beginning of the line

I havent found anything that gets me close.

Does anyone have any idea how to get the desired output?

Edited to answer Ricardo Desired output is My-pc stored as a variable %My-pc%

Answer 1

Use a direct filter in a for loop filtering the line where it's easier to get the CN

for /f tokens^=6 %%i in ('gpresult /r /scope computer ^| findstr /e Mode')do echo\%%i
:: Or...
for /f tokens^=6 %%i in ('gpresult /v ^| findstr /e Mode')do echo\%%i
