Bryce/Lawrence,

Mind if I chime in here?

Lawrence - It appears that the execution is very close..

Try this, if the files are in the same directory:
Option (1)
kix.exe dod.kix

Option (2)
\\Server\share\kix.exe \\Server\share\dod.kix

Option (3)
%logonserver%\netlogon\kix.exe %logonserver%\netlogon\dod.kix

Option (4)
%0\..\kix.exe %0\..\dod.kix

One of these options should get your Kix file running via batch.

HTH,

- Kent
