Re: Calling a batch file from a web service

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You need to determine if your webservice has permissions to fire an
executable. By default, it doesn't. Add these permissions first. You will
also need permissions for the process executing the exe to read or write
from the drive. So there are two sets of permissions issues you need to deal
with first.
