Hello,

I am trying to run a .vbs file from a web page written in ASP.

I am using the following code snippet:-

set objShell = Server.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run "cscript \\Web02\scripts\createPage.vbs > \\Web02\CMS\result.log", 5, True

My problem is that the script never executes.

However, if I double click on the script, or when I call the command  cscript \\Web02\scripts\createPage.vbs > \\Web02\CMS\result.log
straight from the command prompt it works fine.

Any helpful ideas? Perhaps I should be calling the createPage.vbs file from it's physical location using drive letters, or a domain location?

Thanks in advance,
Natacha

It is a security issue. By default, the ISUR_<MACHINENAME> account was
impersonated and the token generated by the IIS was a Network token, which
is NOT allowed to access network resources.

Please check the article Michael provided. I believe it will give you a
clear understanding on the security of IIS.
