permission denied Microsoft VBScript runtime  error '800a0046'  using WScript.Shell

Asked by simplyamazing in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: , , , ,

Hi all,

I've got an issue with a script that uses the WScript.Shell.  The problem is that I keep getting a permission denied error.
I've set permissions on the folder, the file, and even "wscript.exe" file itself in the Windows\System32 folder to
"everyone" with full permissions with the same results.
I'm a bit baffled as to why I would still have a permissions issue.
The script is running on IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise - it is set up as a domain controller, so the IWAM account was given full permissions as well.

<%

Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
RetCode = oShell.Run("C:\test\test.bat", 1, True)

%>


it crashes on the second line with "  permission denied Microsoft VBScript runtime  error '800a0046'  "

What other permissions are there to set up?  
I've done this in the past on IIS5 and earlier and all I had to do was set up the IUSR account with read & execute.

With full permissions set to "Everyone" this should work (unless I'm missing some other setting besides the files, the folders, the objects and the website).

Any ideas?
