WScript.Shell

[Ray at]

It's most likely some sort of a permissions issue. The file is created and
written to okay? What are you running in the batch file? Are you running
dns.exe? Try temporarily adding server\iusr_servername to the local admin
group on the server to see if that makes a difference, or since this is
probably on a DC, you could try adding IUSR to the DNSAdmins group.

Also, add a line like:

net send yourcomputername Hi. The batch is running.

to your batch file, so you'll at least know if the batch is being executed.

Another thing you can try if it's a permissions issue is to use the runas
service in your batch. Actually, if IIRC, you cannot pre-enter a password
using runas. You'd have to use su.exe from the W2K Resource Kit.

Permissions issue probably. If you are using "anonymous access" then the ASP
page is being run under the IUSR_<machinename> account, which may not have
admin priveleges.

Deny "anonymous access", and authenticate using your Windows credentials -
then the ASP page should run under the same user account that you are using
when you "double click" on the batch file in Explorer.

Also, make sure that your batch file isn't expecting any user input! :-)

Cheers
