MacEnterprise
To your specific question, you might try some variation of:
Building=$(dscl /Search read / CPSSearchPath | grep domain.org | awk -F "/" {'print $3'} | cut -c 1-2)
I too am going to recommend MacEnterprise for this sort of thing, and am going to cut two steps out of the suggested script line:
Building=$( /usr/bin/dscl /Search read /CPSSearchPath | /usr/bin/awk '/domain.org/ { print substr($4, 9, 2) }' )
Thus proving that all you really need for shell scripting is awk... (not seriously).
