hello everyone.
i am working on some batch files for windows.
i created a batch file which includes the following command
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp
  2.  
this command works when i run it in dos, but when i run through the batch file an error appears saying
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. invalid source parameter <Area>.
  2.  
this error is so strange, when i run this command in dos it works just fine.

thanks for reading my question

regards

I don't seem to have any problems using this command in a batch file , from the error that you have given it would seem to be splitting up "Local Area Connection", have you forgotten one of the speech marks?

The problem is, the DOS window that opens to run the batch file can leave the command prompt at any location . So...

I want to run the following batch file from Scheduler each night from a command line: 'm:\dpc data\createbackup.bat' The batch file is simply: ECHO Off Start createbackup.mdb where 'createbackup.mdb' (which resides in 'm:\dpc data') compacts and repairs the file into a temp folder and returns it to its original location.

Hi I haven't seen the following problem mentioned anywhere We have an application written in VB.NET which executes a batch file (named startJob.cmd). We have discovered that if that batch file is too big, the last lines of the batch file will not run. For example, the following one-line batch file runs just fine when invoked from our VB.NET app echo %PATH% > c:\com\molex\plot\wmIntegration\logs\p0.lo but the following batch file...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
