So I have a logon script that maps all my user drives and put some shortcuts on users desks depending on what location they are at. We use PaperCutPro to monitor print usage, and one of the things they have is a monitor application that can tell the user how much money they still have left in their account. The application is supposed to live on a server share, and you are supposed to be able to run it from the share in your logon script.

So I put the command they recommended in a shell command:

shell "%comspec% \\<server>\pcclient\win\pcclient.exe /silent"

This did not work, the script never finished and the desktop doesn't come up. I've also tried:

shell "%comspec% start \\<server>\pcclient\win\pcclient.exe /silent"
shell "\\<server>\pcclient\win\pcclient.exe /silent"
run "%comspec% \\<server>\pcclient\win\pcclient.exe /silent"
run "%comspec% start \\<server>\pcclient\win\pcclient.exe /silent"
run "\\<server>\pcclient\win\pcclient.exe /silent"

If I turn debugging on in my script, I see the command run, and with some of the above run commands the pcclient window comes up, but when the script finishes and the desktop appears the pcclient is gone.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help!
