cfexecute and dos

[e1plk01]

I'm trying to use cfexecute to run a dos command and print the results to the dos_test.txt, but I'm having problems. Here is my cfexecute code:

<cfexecute name=&quot;c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe&quot;
arguments=&quot;net user e1plk01 /domain&quot; outputfile=&quot;d:\web\appl_dev\basdev\DevEnvironment\dos_test.txt&quot;
timeOut=&quot;120&quot;></cfexecute>

( cfexecute has been enabled on the server)

Any idea what I can do to get this to run?

Thanks,
Pam

This example is to do a net send.

I think changing you path from &quot;cmd.exe&quot; to &quot;net.exe&quot; should do it for you.

Try this:

<cfexecute name=&quot;c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe&quot;
arguments=&quot;/c net user e1plk01 /domain&quot;
outputfile=&quot;d:\web\appl_dev\basdev\DevEnvironment\dos_test.txt&quot;
timeout=&quot;120&quot;/> - tleish

Thanks for your suggestions!

I've tried them but I'm now getting this message: The syntax of this command is:
NET [ ACCOUNTS | COMPUTER | CONFIG | CONTINUE | FILE | GROUP | HELP |
HELPMSG | LOCALGROUP | NAME | PAUSE | PRINT | SEND | SESSION | SHARE | START | STATISTICS | STOP |
TIME | USE | USER | VIEW ]

Here's my code:
<cfexecute name=&quot;c:\winnt\system32\net.exe&quot;
arguments=&quot;c/ NET USER E1PLK01 /DOMAIN&quot;
timeOut=&quot;120&quot;>

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Pam

Before you were running through the command line (cmd.exe). You need the &quot;/c&quot; before all arguments when useing cmd.exe. Also, you need to call the net.exe program, that's where &quot;NET&quot; comes from.

<cfexecute name=&quot;c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe&quot;
arguments=&quot;/c net user e1plk01 /domain&quot;
timeout=&quot;120&quot;/>

Now, since you are calling net.exe directly there's no need for &quot;/c&quot; or &quot;NET&quot;

<cfexecute name=&quot;c:\winnt\system32\net.exe&quot;
arguments=&quot;user e1plk01 /domain&quot;
timeOut=&quot;120&quot;/> - tleish
