command shell looping

Hi all

I have this customer 2003 server... when i try to run a batch file e.g.
myfile.bat on the machine the command shell will open but execution will
just loop with no actual command being carried out by the batch.

Is this some kind of batch execution protection from group policy?

Thanks

Does the batch file work properly on other machines? I'm not aware of any
group policy setting that would prevent a batch file from running. Now you
could certainly use a GPO to set file permissions on programs like ftp.exe
in which case if your batch file used that command it might not work.

Do you get any errors? Can you post the batch file?
