Cfexecute permission

I know this is a bit late.

But this his is what you are looking for:

Adiabata, Inc. - CFX_EXEC

Assuming the location of the cmd.exe process in your version of Windows is c:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe, then you could try something like

<cfexecute 
    name = "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"  
    arguments="/C c:\temp\test.bat" 
    errorFile="c:\temp\test_bat_error.txt"  
    timeout="10" />

I am trying to run the following C:\temp\test.bat file using cfexecute @echo off start iexplore.exe www.google.com <cfexecute name = "c:\temp\test.bat" timeout="1"></cfexecute>

You are aware that ColdFusion runs on the CF server, and not the client machine, yeah?  So running that batch file via <cfexecute> will just start IE on the server.

Is that what you want?  It sounds like an odd thing to be doing.  Or is the batch file code just "for the sake of example"?

1) Yes, by default ColdFusion runs as "localSystem" which often does not have the required permissions to execute, access networks, etc.

2) You configure the ColdFusion service in the windows services panel to "Log On As" a user that does have the required permissions.
