Replace Space in %USERNAME% With Underscore

Question

Is there any way to replace a space in %username% with an underscore. Within cmd.

For example:

Username: john doe

Actual Folder path for %username%: john_doe

    NET USE Z: \\server\folder\%username%\ /P:Yes

State `NET USE Z: "\\server\folder\%username%" /PERSISTENT:Yes` instead, so you can use directory names with spaces in them... — aschipfl, Nov 30 '16 at 01:45

set "newusername=%username: =_%"

creates a new variable with the space replaced.
