You've got a typo:
Wrong:
Code:
"^%LOGONSERVER%^\NETLOGON\KIX32.EXE ^%LOGONSERVER%^\NETLOGON\Utils\myscript.kix"
Right:
Code:
"^%LOGONSERVER^%\NETLOGON\KIX32.EXE ^%LOGONSERVER^%\NETLOGON\Utils\myscript.kix"
When typed correctly it works for me:
Code:
C:\Temp\KiXtart_OddsAndSods>echo %LOGONSERVER%
\\XXXDC00004
C:\Temp\KiXtart_OddsAndSods>echo ^%LOGONSERVER^%
%LOGONSERVER%
But be warned, MS have had a couple of goes at escaping special characters, all of which have been idiotic and overly complicated. Depending on the version of Windows and the prevailing direction of the wind either the "%%" or the "^%" technique should work.
Also, you need to know how the string is used. If there is a danger that environment strings might be expanded again, then you will need to keep adding the escape characters until it gets through.
If this is a one-off command to get the environment variables into a command then often the simplest technique is to unset the environment variable before you run the command, then set it back to the original value afterwards.
For example:
Code:
C:\Temp\KiXtart_OddsAndSods>echo %LOGONSERVER%
\\XXXDC00004
C:\Temp\KiXtart_OddsAndSods>set OLDLS=%LOGONSERVER%
C:\Temp\KiXtart_OddsAndSods>set LOGONSERVER=
C:\Temp\KiXtart_OddsAndSods>echo %LOGONSERVER%
%LOGONSERVER%
C:\Temp\KiXtart_OddsAndSods>set LOGONSERVER=%OLDLS%
C:\Temp\KiXtart_OddsAndSods>echo %LOGONSERVER%
\\XXXDC00004
BTW, how are you checking that the correct command is being stored?

That's not correct. Try ..
Code:
cpau -u DOMAIN\Utility -p mypassword -ex "^%LOGONSERVER^%\NETLOGON\KIX32.EXE ^%LOGONSERVER^%\NETLOGON\Utils\myscript.kix" -enc -file myscriptjob.job

@meds, that results in the following *.job file:
Quote:
CPAU V01.10.00cpp Joe Richards (joe@joeware.net) October 2004
Attempting to create CPAU job file: myscript.job
Job file Created with following information:
Job File: myscript.job
Domain : MYDOMAIN
User : Utility
Password: mypassword
Execute : ^%LOGONSERVER^%\NETLOGON\KIX32.EXE ^%LOGONSERVER^%\NETLOGON\Utils\myscript.kix
CRC Files:
Will this work?

Probably not 
Try clearing the value as I've described above. This will definately get the command-to-execute correct.
At least you don't have spaces in the paths anywhere, or that would cause even more problems!
The next issue is whether CPAU will expand the environment variables, but you should be able to test that yourself with a test script.

Wonder if Shawn's RUNNAS handles this better?

@masken,
You should try specifing environment vars with {%{var}%}. That should work.
