Problems using WScript to execute a batch file
Take a look at this old post (attached)
Running it or with a batch file from there should be easy.

Re: How do you pass script variables to dos? |
If I am reading you right, this would be a way to pass variables into a
script in DOS. Just run with cscript mytest.vbs arg1 arg2 You can get
more fancy if you want with error checking.
*****************mytest.vbs*************************************
Set Argc = Wscript.Arguments
Set Argv = Wscript.Arguments
If Argc.Count Then ' If greater than one then do this.
Select Case Argc.Item(0)
Case "Var1" WSHShell.Popup Argc.Item(0) & sMsg, 1,
"Notice", 64
Case "Var2" WSHShell.Popup Argc.Item(1) & sMsg, 1,
"Notice", 64
End Select
Else ' No args found
On Error Resume Next
Err.Raise 1 ' Raise an overflow error.
Wscript.Echo "No variable found"
Err.Clear ' Clear the error
Wscript.Quit()
End If
************************************************************************
