Can you post all of your code, or at least all that is relevant here? See,
you shouldn't be getting access denied's based on what the batch file is
doing. If you (iusr) have access to cmd.exe, that's about as far as ASP can
"see." If the batch file is trying to do something unauthorized, this error
would be returned to the stdout from the command prompt, which would not be
bounced back into an ASP error. Like, if you ran "cmd.exe /c net start
[some service]" and your IUSR account isn't authorized to do this, you would
not see this error. Now, if your IUSR didn't have NTFS permissions to
cmd.exe, for example, then you'd see a permission denied error.

Are you positive that your iusr account is authorized to access cmd.exe?
