- Use UNC coding
- Check your permissions. If you invoke your batch file
as a service then it runs under the System account. This
account has no access rights to any shared resource.
Inserting the line
echo %date% %time% User=%Username% >> c:\test.log
into your batch file will quickly confirm this.
