Wscript.Shell.r un returns 254

I am trying to run a command line from an ASP page. I am using windows 2003
with IIS6. I am able to get this to run on my local machine (Windows XP
IIS5). Here is my code:

jobNbr = Request.QuerySt ring("jobNbr")

'Log in as an admin. I created a component to impersonate an administrator.
‘This works fine
Set objLogon = Server.CreateOb ject("LoginAdmi n.ImpersonateUs er")
objLogon.Logon "AdminUser" , "AdminPassword" , "domain"
Set wShell = Server.CreateOb ject("WSCRIPT.S HELL")
svrPath = Server.MapPath( "/")
FilesPath = svrPath & "\devl\AFLDirec t\Zip\QcsFiles\ " & jobNbr
ZipPath = svrPath & "\devl\AFLDirec t\Zip\QcsFiles\ ZippedFiles\" & jobNbr &
".zip"
strZip = "wzzip.exe -rp -ee -ybc " & ZipPath & " " & FilesPath

returncode = wShell.run(strZ ip,0,true)
response.write returncode

Set wShell = nothing
objLogon.LogOff
set objLogon = nothing

When I run this th ReturnCode’s value is 254. I can’t find any info about
this code. I am assuming it has something to do with permissions or how IIS
is setup. I have tried creating a new application pool for this, but I still
get the same result. I checked the Web Service extensions and that seems to
look OK, but I could be wrong.

Thanks

I know you are trying to help, but you need to read my post. I stated I was
able to get this to work on my local XP machine. On my 2003 server is where I
am having the problem. Here is a response.write of the string:

wzzip.exe -rp -ee -ybc
E:\openshare\ap plications\dev\ AFLDirect\Zip\Q csFiles\ZippedF iles\12345667.z ip
E:\openshare\ap plications\dev\ AFLDirect\Zip\Q csFiles\1234566 7

I have tried using hte full path of the wzzip.exe, but that still doesn't
work.

I use this component to manipulate/create zip files with in ASP. Although I
do place my own VB wrapper round it to make things even easier and make sure
the interface is script friendly. Having said you should be able to use it
directly from ASP.

Should enable you avoid needing the administrator password being present in
a ASP file and having to launch a separate process to do the zipping.

Anthony.

I used to be able to run the following ASP code on our corp machine (W2K Server Edition and IIS-5) and successfully send a net-msg to anyone on our intranet. Last week it stopped working... and I'm not sure what changed. (I had applied ALL the W2K update patches... but... I'm not sure if the problem started before or after that.) Did any recent W2K patches change the way createObject, wScript.shell, or "NET SEND" works?
