I don't think that's how you call batch files through IIS. It's been a while, but you can't just map an extension to any program at all; it has to be an ISAPI extension. I don't think you can use batch files as CGI scripts with IIS 4 or higher, actually. You can just write an ASP page to do what you want, though. Or, why not just call your batch file with CFEXECUTE?
