Mark.... I think you hit it on the nail, now that I re-read the original posting.

vinings says: "When I execute the batch file manually, it errors with:

"CMD.EXE was started with '\\domain\netlogon' as the current directory path. UNC paths are not support"

Something in the batch or environement must be wrong to get that error. It could also possibly be a "poorly worded" error that in fact is a rights issue.

Where is the file located (same domain, other domain) what are your SHARE and NTFS rights on the file?
