Runing Dos Commands

[cpajoe2001]

Was hoping to get some help with this problem.

What I have is a website that will be used to create DFS links on a DFS server from a asp 2.0 web site. The user puts in the share name and then selects the link location. Currently the only way I know of to insert the link is to run DFSCMD in dos currently I have a script that does this. The syntax is cmd \c DFSCMD /add "\\DFSServer\DFSGroup\Share" "\\TrueServer\Path" I also have a C# console app that works so i just took the code from it and tried to put it into a web app

using System.Security;
using System.Diagnostics;
public string createDFSlinke(string root, string link)
    {
        string arg = "/add \"" + root + "\" \"" + link + "\"";
 
        Process.Start("DFSCMD",arg);
        return arg;
 
    }

it does appear as the app is launched and if i watch the processes on the server i see it launch how ever I keep getting this error on event log

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Does anyone know how I could run a dos application with command arguments from the webserver.

What OS is your server running? I don't believe that this will work on W2K, however this article may help for W3K R2:
