628328 2008-01-10 05:45:00 has the person exercuting the script got sufficent permissions to see that shortcut beama (111)
628329 2008-01-10 05:47:00 Does the user have access permissions to access the shortcut itself (not what it points to)? Erayd (23)
628330 2008-01-11 03:08:00 Yes they have the required share permissions to the folder where the shortcut is. as well as permission to access the Internet. chiefnz (545)
628331 2008-01-11 11:03:00 Try and use a VBS script. Copy and paste the below into a txt file and save as a .vbs and change to suit your needs. Run from a PC and see if it works. If it does then the problem is a bat file issue. If it doesn't then an issue some where else.


'Windows Script Host (WSH)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
on error resume next
Desktop = WSHShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
'name of program
Set shortcut = WSHShell.CreateShortcut(Desktop & "\Name of link.lnk")
Shortcut.WindowStyle = 3
Shortcut.TargetPath = "\\server\folder\??.exe"
Shortcut.WorkingDirectory = "\\server\folder"
Shortcut.IconLocation = "\\server\folder\??.exe"
Shortcut.Save

Set fso=nothing
Set WshShell = nothing
Sub Print(x)
WScript.Echo x
End Sub

sub BorraFichero(fichero)
if fso.FileExists(fichero) then fso.DeleteFile(fichero)
end sub

628333 2008-01-11 23:13:00 The batch file probably can't find the web shortcut "Datasquirt.lnk" because, on my system at least, web shortcuts have the filetype of ".url" rather than ".lnk". I'm sure this will fix your problem.
