Re: SMS 2003 - afterbackup.bat

You could add some error handling to your vbscript and catch the error.

One random theory I can think of is that maybe the afterbackup.bat runs
in the system context of the server, whereas when you run the script it's
with your privs. So when run automatically it's getting 'access denied'
(error code 5) from the other server. If so, you probably need to add the
computer account of the server running the script to the share privileges on
the server receiving the backup.
