I'm not a specialist but I would print the shell script command that
you are passing. Maybe it's better to insert a white space between the
loginname and the department?

I'm missing something in my applescript.
I've got the variables setup and the display dialogs seem to work,
but the variables aren't being passed to the script correctly.
Here's what I have so far for my applescript
property loginname : ""
display dialog "Enter your loginname without the container:" default
answer loginname
set the loginname to text returned of the result
property department : ""
display dialog "Enter your Department:" default answer department
set the department to text returned of the result
do shell script ("echo " & loginname & department & " | /Users/
gvsuadmin/Desktop/adbind.sh") user name "xxxx" password "xxxx" with
administrator privileges

You can run the script inside Terminal with 'tell application
"Terminal" to do script "...."', instead of 'do shell script', and
then the script can interact with the user as needed.
Or if the script just expects certain things on its input but
doesn't need a terminal, you can prompt for them with 'display
dialog' and then use "echo" or <<< as part of the shell command to
feed the input to it.
Or you can use display dialog's output in line, like in:
-- tested
do shell script "ls " & (text returned of (display dialog "Enter
directory to list:" default answer "/"))
I got the impression the OP was talking about the command reading
things from its input stream, so it'd be more like
do shell script "command arguments <<<" & (quoted form of (text
returned of (display dialog "Enter data:";)))
If you have to prompt for multiple data items then it's probably
easier to do the display dialogs first and gather the results and
then build the inputstring out of them.
