Why are you calling a second batch file from your initial "a.bat" file? When you call "b.bat" are you using the batch "call" command (example: call b.bat)? Is server server2 in the same domain as server1?

Why are you being so cryptic? Why won't you post the problem code so that we can see if you have a coding issue?
