Rename folder in users directory using batch

Question

I'm a little new to scripting and would like help renaming a folder in every users directory. I would like to accomplish the below but it sounds like I would have to use a FOR loop to go through every user profile. Does someone have an example of how to accomplish this or maybe another method?

ren "C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\TEST" "C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\TEST1"

Use FOR /D to match only directories

 FOR /D %%G IN (C:\users\*) DO (
    ren "%%G\AppData\TEST" "TEST1"
    )
