The first thing to do is to find out what part of this is failing, where,
and why.
Are you checking (and logging) error results from your attempt to call out
to the batch file?
Try a batch file that writes a simple message out to a log file, so that you
can see whether the batch file gets run in the first place.
What is the working directory for the batch file? Don't forget that, just
as you can't "CD" to a UNC, you can't run CMD from a UNC (try it with a
shortcut, and you'll find that it drops you in your Windows directory
instead).
Can the account that you use even access the UNC? Local System is not given
rights to remote shares, by default, and it would be a bad thing,
security-wise, to allow null session shares so that it can.
Go through the usual stages of linear problem solving to find out where the
problem is, and what the problem is, and it'll be easier to solve. Right
now, all you've got is a complex system that is failing somewhere between
start and finish. Simplify the system until it no longer fails, and you
will have narrowed down the failure. Then add back complexity until it
fails again, and you've got the failure bracketed. Zero in on it until you
know exactly where and what the problem is.
Alun.
